Blues & Beyond #26: James Brown, Bluesman
From WXPN
| Part of the Blues & Beyond series
| 00:59:00
Producers: Jonny Meister
The Godfather Of Soul, the late James Brown, will always be remembered for the funk music he developed more than for his blues. But Brown brought his unique spirit and talent to the blues genre and to jazz, even if the recordings were "deep" cuts on albums or unissued until many years after he made them. This hour of The Blues & Beyond featues some of those deep tracks, including his versions of songs from the repertoire of his greatest influence, Louis Jordan-- as well as his haunting "King Heroin" and other affecting performances not at the top of the James Brown catalog of hits.
