Free Music Notes for Hell
Free Music Review: My favorite JB album !
Hit: 5 Stars
I have no idea why, but HELL has always been one of my favorite JB albums... at-least up there with the PAYBACK... I say "no idea why" because alongside side the heavy stuff, JB also shows his willingness to take risks, no matter how embarrassing the potential results (take his funky version of WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN and a latin version of PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and a few hit and miss Jazz standards.)
Interestingly enough, HELL was a two album LP and I'd say that there's one album full of the BEST OF THE BEST of Funky early/mid-70's JB... and one of... well... the risks which actually fit in pretty well... but could have been left on the cutting floor if he were a bit less ambitious. (Read Fred Wesley's bio HIT ME, FRED for a bit more insight into the mind of JB!)
Aside from some of a few hits that would become classics (My Thang, Pappa Don't Take No Mess), there are a few others that should have (Hell, Cold Blooded) - - and I agree with another reviewer... a killer remake of I CAN'T STAND IT also makes the album particularly worth getting... Another high point of the album is A MAN HAS TO GO BACK TO THE CROSSROADS. -- Though JB will forever be remembered as the Godfather of Funk and Soul, fact is this... nobody could wail and belt out a ballad with as much power, timing and drama as him... My all time fave ballad rendition of his, incidentally is IF I RULED THE WORLD... He seemed to have dropped it from his show in favor of GEORGIA, a tune with similar changes. - - If the world is fair, people will also begin to discover what a great Jazz ballad singer JB he was... the catch though is that he was not INFLUENTIAL as a balladeer... and for a pretty good reason: in terms of his timing, rhythmic and tonal precision on the ballads, there's just no faking it... JB was in a league of his own. (LOST SOMEONE and SOMETIMES are other examples of JB in a mellow yet funky vibe.)
All in all, I'd say if you're seriously getting into JB and want to go beyond the compilations, get this...
As a final word: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS... the album cover, artwork and overall conception makes this a full package thing... If you like this album, also consider getting BLACK CEASAR (JB soundtrack from the same era) and - - definitely PAYBACK.
