The 3 stars is a gift. I saw JB in concert just last night (10/30/99) and if only he could capture on disc the unstoppable energy of his current live show in the studio...I guess that's what "Live at the Apollo '95" was for. On this most recent album, its really not bad at all when its an honest-to-God BAND playing the music. But much of the album is made up of the same sort of "modern"-sounding tracks that filled the junky '92 release "Universal James".

It's good to know the man's still making new music as he approaches 70, but there's nothing particularly interesting here.

4.0 out of 5 stars JAMES BROWN SAMPLES HIMSELF (?), July 31, 2000

This review is from: Back Again (Audio CD)

Since James Brown has basically never stopped touring since 1956, the CD title probably refers to the five year interval from his last studio album, UNIVERSAL JAMES (Scotti Brothers). That notable '93 effort, like its immediate predecessor LOVE OVER-DUE, should have hit the LP Charts hard and provoked a fast follow-up. Let's presume that radio station programmers did not take the challenge en masse. Anyway, this album, despite a good number of hitworthy numbers like "Break Away" and "Funk On Ah Roll (Original J.B. Mix)", is less "contemporary" than the aforementioned. "What It Takes" [aka "You've Got What It Takes"] and "Lucky Old Sun" [aka "That Lucky Old Sun"] are impressive takes of familiar R & B/pop; "Every Beat Of My Heart" is a free-flowing organ instrumental version of the '52 landmark. Ofcourse, there are the expected recuts, the best being "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" with a bright new St. Clair Pinkney solo. A compelling mix of the old and the new is "Peace In The World", presumeably riding a previously used rhythm ["Papa Don't Take No Mess"?] and causing JB fans to shake their heads one more time and say, Why don't I hear this on the radio?
