James Brown and His Famous Flame – Tour The USA LP
New. Sealed.
180 Gram Vinyl
The title’s more than a bit disingenuous–Tour the U.S.A. was recorded in the studio, not on the road–but otherwise the music is as straightforward and sincere as one would expect from James Brown. Comprised largely of hard-hitting instrumentals, the album shifts the emphasis away from Brown himself onto backing unit the Famous Flames, and while firmly rooted in the R&B conventions of the era, the music clearly anticipates the era-defining grooves of his premier supporting unit, the JB’s. That said, Tour the U.S.A. is like so many of Brown’s albums mostly filler–more prelude for what’s to come than anything else.
