Veers towards syrupy at times, like much of Metheney’s recent output, but it certainly has its moments.

How could somebody manage to be so prolific and yet die so young?
Incredible musician and inspiration to others.

A double LP from 1974. It contains one of Brown’s best-ever songs, the side-long “Papa Don’t Take No Mess”, with its remarkable drumming by Jabo Starks.

Not a very good recording, and there are a few boring, soppy ballads, but there are some powerhouse funk tunes on this 1976 AWB double live album…
