About
The pleasure here lies in listening to James Brown and his band go long. Even on slow jams like "Doing the Best I Can," they groove to their limits, the Godfather baring his soul while instruments enter and exit. As you lock in, the feeling is almost psychedelic—what he calls the JBE (James Brown Experience) on liberating closer "Mind Power." And where the jazzy funk explorations of “Stone to the Bone” push you to unexpected lands, “Forever Suffering” offers soulful comfort.
