Description

If any of you folks out there either need , A: An introduction to the funky world of soul brother No1 or B: An addition to your J.B collection that contains his best (not done to death!)tracks, then look no further than In the jungle groove. The godfather's career stretches so far back, and consists of so many high grade slabs of funk (more than 80 albums & 100's - if not 1000's of collaborations and associated projects) that it is easy to get lost when trying to root out the very best of his material. Most folk (myself included) will have purchased one of his many compilations (released yearlymore…) and will be more than familiar with his more well known hits (inc' Sex Machine, It's a man's,man's,man's world, papa's got a brand new bag etc)but these albums barely scratch the surface of this living legend's massive back catalogue of much better (if less well known) music.I have 22 J.B albums in my collection and I.t.J.G ranks in the top 2 ("Everyone's doin' the hustle, and down on the double bump" just beats it - but that's another review!). It contains some his most memorable tracks, and I'd defy anyone not to (at least)nod their head and tap their feet to It's a new day, talkin'loud and sayin' nothin' and the legendary funky drummer.Although this album is a compilation, it is one hell of a collection of song's and has been put together with great care by people who are clearly big fans themselves. Incidentally, it should not need mentioning that pretty much every rap/hip hop group post Sugarhill gang have sampled to death much of J.B's back catalogue (inc' most of whats here), with funky drummer being "borrowed" from the most. I have lost count of the number of times I've heard THAT loop over the years.Other great highlights on I.t.J.G include Soul Power , Hot pants, and I got to move (a real gem). In summary, a superb selection of the Godfather's most lethal funk monsters. If you have even the remotest interest in the funk and don't own this album (brothers and sisters) then you really need your funking head examined with a view to calling Doctor Brown for a full funktal lobotomy!
