SHO IS FUNKEY DOWN HERE - JAMES BROWN

SHO IS FUNKY DOWN HERE – JAMES BROWN

A Deep, Psychedelic Funk Experiment from the Godfather Himself

Released in 1971, “Sho Is Funky Down Here” is James Brown like you’ve never heard him before—raw, instrumental, and dipped in heavy psychedelic rock. This underrated gem sees the Godfather of Soul team up with guitarist David Matthews for a fusion of acid rock, deep funk, and jazz-laced grooves.

Far from his usual horn-driven soul hits, this album dives underground with swirling guitar licks, gritty basslines, and experimental jams. It’s Brown’s last album for King Records, and a bold final statement—more like a head trip than a dance party.

Perfect for crate diggers, funk collectors, and fans of Funkadelic, Miles Davis’ electric period, or underground psych-funk.
