This is lean but not quiet. It's just his voice and the guitar, but his guitar work is great. His lyrics are great and his voice is just right to deliver them.
Good stuff. :judge:

Back in the heyday of radio, special recordings were made for stations to buy and broadcast. These "transcriptions" were not available to the public, and often they captured artists during periods they were not making commercial records. Bob Wills was on M-G-M Records at this time but this lengthy series for Tiffany Music Company covered a lot of additional material. Bob had one of his top bands here with Tommy Duncan providing the vocals, Noel Boggs on steel and especially Junior Barnard driving hard on electric guitar.
 
James Brown - Love Peace Power (rec. 1971, Polydor rel. 1992)

I don't think James' live recordings after the Apollo in the early 60's have gotten nearly the credit they deserve. Here we find the godfather backed in concert by the original J.B.'s for the only time on record:
All Stars, every one. :heart:

His studio recordings of the time are among the most innovative in any genre, and damned if he didn't hit the same heights on stage.

:5.0: on the Sam-O-Meter. Get Up! Get Into It! Get Involved! :banana:
