JAMES BROWN: “Bring It On” (Augusta Sound):: The fast side is honorable and dispensable—great title riff plus filler, nothing anyone who owns some early-’70s JB is likely to need or even want, though neophytes will dance to it now. The slow side comprises the three strongest covers Brown’s released since he stuck a classic “Kansas City” onto Everybody's Doin’ The Hustle in 1975.
