James Brown Live at The Apollo (1968) Reissue (????)


This live set from James Brown will start off "James Brown week" on the blog. I will be featuring live performances, albums and video of the Godfather of Soul. This set features still more of his soul classics as it was just prior to his big move towards funkier music. It's still a great double CD with some fine examples of how much the audience was into his shows. He really played for the audience and made it something unique. Just check out "I Feel Alright" and you'll see what I mean. Good music and good fun, not much more you could ask for. "Cold Sweat" is the big standout on the set though, love that track. I hope enjoy the CD and will stick around for some real treats from James Brown and his entourage.
