Album Notes & Community Reviews

After a brief excursion into disco formats during the late 1970s, James Brown returned to a gritty, unadulterated funk sound with 'Soul Syndrome'. Released on the independent TK Records label, the album features extended, horn-driven grooves crafted alongside longtime collaborators like Maceo Parker. It stands as a powerful, back-to-basics rejuvenation of the Godfather of Soul's classic style.
