Surprisingly, the album's title is only about halfway true. The sessions contained here cover a wide span of time (1964-1968). Consequently, the later tracks bear the mark of Brown's souped-up funk, but earlier recordings include a sentimental take on the ballad "Till Then," previously popularized by the Mills Brothers (!), a quaint "message" song about staying in school ("Don't Be a Dropout"), and a loungey, vibes-led instrumental ("Yours and Mine"). The album naturally picks up when Brown and his band turn up the heat, as on the existential funk of "Money Won't Change You" and the aptly titled, hard-grooving "Let Yourself Go." An interesting spotlight is placed on Brown's roots when the '50s doo-wop standard "Only You" is given a 6/8, mid-'60s-style R&B treatment. Additionally, it's an unexpected treat to hear James merge jazz and soul on an impressive version of "The Nearness of You."
