Doing It to Death

Released

This all-time classic from James Brown’s band The JBs, their third full-length outing, sees them at their leanest and most efficient, each musical part precisely placed in a churning funk mechanism. Includes ten effusive minutes of ‘Doing It To Death’, its celebratory tone due to the return of sax player Maceo from his All The Kings Men project. Aside from short interludes you only get four tracks but that’s because they’re all lengthy, elongated jams full of brassy soloing, showcasing that locked-in-one-chord loop funk that the JBs did so well.
