James Brown traded the stage for the silver screen on Black Caesar, his 1973 soundtrack, pressed here as a limited picture disc imported from Holland.
Written for the gangster film of the same name, the album arrived in the thick of Brown's early-1970s funk run, with The J.B.'s and Lyn Collins along for the ride. Fred Wesley's horn charts, Jimmy Nolen's chicken-scratch guitar and Jabo Starks' rock-solid drumming give even the shorter instrumental cues real bite. Reviews at the time were mixed, but the record has since earned its place among the stronger albums of his later catalogue.
Opener "Down and Out in New York City" is a stone-cold classic, all brooding horns and Brown's gravel-voiced street storytelling. "The Boss" struts with menace, "Make It Good to Yourself" locks into a relentless groove, and "Mama's Dead" slows everything down into a raw, aching lament. Lyn Collins steps up on "Mama Feelgood" for a dose of pure sass, a reminder of how deep Brown's bench of talent ran in those years.
Heard on its own, Black Caesar is a gritty, cinematic slab of funk that works just as well without the film. The picture disc turns it into a centrepiece for any soul shelf.
