Hell

James Brown published in 1974 by Polydor his 38th studio album as a double LP, slik and sly funk as usual, maybe becoming a bit heavier, at least in parts (I Can't Stand It "76). Beside some remarkable tracks, in particular to find on side A with "Coldblooded", "My Thang" or "Sayin' It and Doin' It" I like in particular the calmer "Sometime" and "A Man Has to Go Back to the Cross Road Before He Finds Himself". Also remarkable are the albums groovy final, the almost 14 minutes song "Papa Don't Take No Mess" and the lucky circumstance that the failed traditional "When the Saints Go Marching In" is the shortest cut on the whole double album.
