What can be said about one of the baddest hominids to ever go bipedal? James Brown was many things to many people. Interestingly I think he considered himself a much more adept singer than conventional wisdom suggests. This cover of a tune owned by Sinatra, That's Life, reveals a more ambitious Brown trying to reflect back on his jazz roots.

Billy Paul was at the center of the Philly sound and he was a soulful son of a gun. Talented and under recorded, Paul seems all but forgotten now. But in the seventies he was right there with Harold Melvin and Gamble and Huff defining a new urban soul sound.

Two legends of bluegrass, Josh Graves and Kenny Baker, come together for this great dobro tour de force. Graves would made his name with Flatt and Scruggs and Baker who played fiddle with Bill Monroe are two of the most important sidemen in bluegrass. Step it up and go shows they could make mighty music on their own.
