| | James Brown Godfather: The Very Best Of... CD James Brown Discography of CDs
This collection of music by soul and funk originator James Brown features 20 remastered classics, including "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," "I Got You (I Feel Good)," "Funky Drummer," "Living in America."
There are so many James Brown compilations out there that it can be tough to pick which one is the most suitable for a particular listener's budget or pleasure. This set from Polydor in the U.K. is -- for a single disc -- quite solid if bare in places. Containing 20 tracks and presented for a very attractive price point, it contains all major hits -- albeit edited single versions of some of them like "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine." Of course, there is plenty missing, but it would be easy to come up with what is -- tracks like "Mother Popcorn," "Hot Pants," and "Ain't It Funky Now" are all very conspicuously absent. But it's difficult to argue with what is here, even of the later 1970s material. There is no single compilation of James Brown's music that can really be considered complete, but this one, containing all original recording sources and stellar material, stands with the best of them despite lacking some cuts. ~ Thom Jurek
James Brown was and will always remain The Godfather. His influence on Funk and Soul music is undeniable and will be felt for decades and generations to come. This 20 track compilation is the perfect reminder of the impact he had on music but also serves as a great introduction for the uninitiated. The sweat that drips from the speakers when this CD plays is The Godfather's passion and power coming through loud and clear. Includes 'Papa's Got A Brand New Bag', 'I Got You (I Feel Good)', 'Cold Sweat', 'Funky Drummer', 'Please Please Please' and many more. Universal. 2007. Godfather: The Very Best Of...

$11.18 After his aborted, internet-leaked 2008 album, 12 PLAY: 4TH QUARTER, R.

While such moves insured that Kelly would never stray far from the R&B throne he's occupied ...

$8.99 Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though ...

| | Joss Stone Colour Me Free! CD (2009) Import
Godfather: The Very Best Of... CD music
$30.38 The "free" in the title to Joss Stone's fourth album apparently refers to the neo-singer breaking free from the shackles of her major label, EMI, who apparently have not let Joss be Joss. That this constricting argument happens to be the exact same story line Stone used for 2007's Introducing Joss Stone, the splashy diva power trip meant to unveil the "real" singer, is conveniently forgotten, as is the modern R&B of that makeover, with Joss returning to all the retro-soul of her first two records. The one lingering element of Introducing is a propensity for melisma-laden oversinging, a tic that stands out in the warmer, funkier settings of Colour Me Free! Still, her raw vocal skills remain impressive, as does her taste in soul, and this does beat with a messy human heart. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

After the imaginative but often leaden-sounding Jump Leads LP in 2001, Messrs. Cobby and McSherry applied their usual mastery of sound science to The Life and Times of Phoebus Brumal, an extraordinary set of music that starts out bouncing like Basement Jaxx but ends up revealing more stylistic and musical innovation than anyone else in the field of organic electronica. That these productions appear on what is apparently a concept album ...
