Our Review

Even with the machine-gun pace of the release schedule of his ’60s and ’70s heyday, James Brown left a lot of great music in the studio vaults. Motherlode skims from the (mostly) unreleased sounds of the era, adding a discful of indelible funk to the canon. Sometimes rough (the polyrhythmic throwdown “She’s the One” could’ve been a hit single had Brown gone back to recut his vocal), sometimes fully realized (the extended take of “People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul” from the blaxploitation soundtrack Slaughter’s Big Rip-off), these tracks earn adjectives like “commanding” as surely as the better-known classics. Working through alternate arrangements (“You Got to Have a Mother for Me” sets fire to “Mother Popcorn”) and revisiting oldies (you can hear James almost chuckling at the funkafied doo-wop of “Since You Been Gone,” formerly “Just Won’t Do Right”), Motherlode is revelatory and mighty.

this IS the motherload. Not a wasted note. If you have some James Brown get this as well because it is perfect.

This is THE best JB compilation on any level. Great songs, arrangments, solos, grooves, etc. I cannot stop listening to this album. It's like crack for your ears! From the first note to the last, this album is perfect. Listen to this album. It will blow you away.

I really liked the whole album but the song I like the most was People Get up and Drive your Funky Soul. That song was in Spider-Man 3, and with good reason. It deserved to be in that movie.

"Soul Brother Number One," "the Godfather of Soul," "the Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. Dynamite" — those are mighty titles, but no one can question that James Brown earned them more than any other performer. Other singers were more popular, others were equally skilled, but few other African-American musicians were so influential over the course of popular music. And no other musician, pop or...
