Recorded five years after Brown's LIVE AT THE APOLLO 1962 album, this disc finds the Godfather of Soul returning to that venerable New York theater, and a comparison between the two recordings shows the incredible growth that had taken place in the interim. Brown was still turning out effective versions of the melodic soul ballads with which he began his career (the violin-accompanied "I Want to Be Around"), but with the arrival of drummer Clyde Stubblefield, he'd moved from soul to pure funk ("Cold Sweat").
The singer demonstrates his versatility with a souful version of the popular standard "That's Life" and the blues shuffle "Kansas City," but he's at his most arresting pounding out hard funk rhythms, backed by his classic '60s band (Maceo Parker, St. Clair Pinckney, Pee Wee Ellis, etc.). Ever the showman, Brown includes versions of his most popular tunes of the time, such as "Prisoner of Love," the pleading "Try Me" and "Please, Please, Please," and an epic, highly atmospheric take on the minor-key mood piece "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World." LIVE AT THE APOLLO perfectly captures what this funk pioneer was about at this crucial point in his career.
Rolling Stone (4/11/02, p.105) - Ranked #3 in Rolling Stone's "50 Coolest Records" - "...The most explosive cold-sweat funk grooves ever recorded..."
Q (5/00, p.134) - Included in Q Magazine's "Best Soul Albums Of All Time" - "...Documents the man on peak form, and offers a glimpse into urban black culture in this most celebrated and vibrant venue....one of the most thrilling soul sets ever."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.133) - 5 stars out of 5 - "Part of soul history, documenting Brown's searing 1962 performance..." James Brown Live At The Apollo Songs | 1. | I'll Go Crazy Try Me Think - (studio) |

During their early period with Roy Loney as lead singer, the Flamin' Groovies made one great album (Teenage Head), one very good one (Flamingo), and one that was flawed but enjoyable (Supersnazz). When Cyril Jordan took over as the band's unquestioned leader following Loney' s departure, the Groovies shifted gears from supercharged roots rock to neo-British Invasion pop, and while every record they released had more than a few brilliant moments, they seemed incapable of making an album that was solid from front to back. Thankfully, some bright penny at Sire Records got the idea of putting together a Flamin' Groovies compilation CD, and the result, Groovies' Greatest Grooves, makes a superb case for the inconsistent but undeniable brilliance of their post-Loney repertoire. Groovies' Greatest Grooves harvests pretty much every great track from the group's three albums for Sire (Shake Some Action, Flamin' Groovies Now!, and Jumpin' in the Night) and tosses in one superb cut with Loney (the masterful "Teenage Head"), two hard-to-find ...

Additional personnel: Preacher, Witchdoctor (rap vocals); Big Gipp.
And then there were two, and they were...lumberjacks? Making the episode of Crank Yankers with Ludacris come true (the one where he calls the head of Def Jam and claims he wants to change his name to Peanut Head), the Southern outfit Goodie Mob are now called Lumberjacks, or at least they're threatening this since Livin' Life as Lumberjacks is a "Goodie Mob Presents" release. What really makes the L.L. Bean move oddball is that the Mob are as street-level, syrup-sippin' South as ever on Livin' Life as Lumberjacks, perhaps more so. Another concern is that the "Say Wha?" name change is going to alienate hip-hop buyers, and in turn make them miss the crew's most solid album since ...
