I may be a tad inebriated, very sleepy, and might've just snuck into my own house. But that's doesn't mean I can't still type, and that you can't get down with the funk. I have to admit I like a few James Brown songs, but none enough to actually download. Heard this one on CBC Radio 2 Morning on Friday though, and it pretty much set the tone for my day.

James Brown is so raw, and there's something a little primal about this song. "Give me my thang." It doesn't get much simpler than that. The horns and the chanting-like backing vocals, and everything else going on that makes funk so all encompassing and keeps it chugging along without ever overloading the beat, it all works for me. Makes me wonder on the other hand why funk didn't really survive much past its heyday.


More posts to come soon, I'll acknowledge I've been in a bit of a lull the last few days.
