If any of you folks out there either need , A: An introduction to the funky world of soul brother No1 or B: An addition to your J.B collection that contains his best (not done to death!)tracks, then look no further than In the jungle groove.
The godfather's career stretches so far back, and consists of so many high grade slabs of funk (more than 80 albums & 100's - if not 1000's of collaborations and associated projects) that it is easy to get lost when trying to root out the very best of his material.
Most folk (myself included) will have purchased one of his many compilations (released yearly) and will be more than familiar with his more well known hits (inc' Sex Machine, It's a man's,man's,man's world, papa's got a brand new bag etc)but these albums barely scratch the surface of this living legend's massive back catalogue of much better (if less well known) music.
I have 22 J.B albums in my collection and I.t.J.G ranks in the top 2 ("Everyone's doin' the hustle, and down on the double bump" just beats it - but that's another review!). It contains some his most memorable tracks, and I'd defy anyone not to (at least)nod their head and tap their feet to It's a new day, talkin'loud and sayin' nothin' and the legendary funky drummer.
Although this album is a compilation, it is one hell of a collection of song's and has been put together with great care by people who are clearly big fans themselves.
Incidentally, it should not need mentioning that pretty much every rap/hip hop group post Sugarhill gang have sampled to death much of J.B's back catalogue (inc' most of whats here), with funky drummer being "borrowed" from the most. I have lost count of the number of times I've heard THAT loop over the years.
Other great highlights on I.t.J.G include Soul Power , Hot pants, and I got to move (a real gem).
In summary, a superb selection of the Godfather's most lethal funk monsters. If you have even the remotest interest in the funk and don't own this album (brothers and sisters) then you really need your funking head examined with a view to calling Doctor Brown for a full funktal lobotomy!
Amen

An amazing funk workout including "the most sampled track of all time" The Funky Drummer. This really is the Godfather at his eclectic best. Buy it. Buy lots of James Brown. Go.

Don't expect any ballads, easy listening, or the hit singles, this double album length CD, recently reissued with a bonus track, collects together ten extended funk jams recorded between 1969 and 1971. With their raw energy and improvised feel, these vital studio recordings encapsulate not only the intensity of Brown's live performances, but also his volatile off stage existence during this period. Brown was a hard task master and in March 1969 his regular backing band walked out; luckily for musical history not before recording the famous Funky Drummer, with its infectious and oft sampled rhythm. The version here features alternate sax, guitar, drum, and stabbing organ solos by Brown himself, over a gorgeous groove that goes on forever (actually 9 minutes; indeed all the tracks on this album are so hypnotic and persistent, they each feel like twice their actual length).
Even more energetic is Give It Up or Turnit a Loose featuring a new band allegedly commissioned to perform a gig with two hours notice and no rehearsal. Unfamiliarity doesn't show as the song kicks off with a muted guitar riff before the funky drummer (Clyde Stubblefield remained from the original band) comes crashing in and the new "JBs" deliver a high octane slab of chunk funk with Brown extolling "Ain't it funky now!".
And it just keeps on coming - peaking with the stupendous, foot tapping, head nodding, body popping and simply exhausting Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing where the band lock into another fast and furious, horn honking groove as tight as one of their leader's latter day waist bands.
A tremendously exciting record guaranteed to get your party cooking!

A funk bomb.
Brilliant. Raw, stripped down soul at its best. If you can't feel this, you really haven't got any soul, as the man himself says.
