Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released during an incredibly prolific transitional period that saw the departure of his classic 1960s band and the introduction of the legendary J.B.'s, this album captures the 'Godfather of Soul' at his most rhythmically devastating. The tracks are anchored by immensely complex, driving basslines and razor-sharp horn interjections, heavily favoring aggressive, extended grooves over traditional song structures. It is widely considered a defining text in the crystallization of pure, uncompromising funk.
