Sho’ Is Funky Down Here is an album by James Brown, released in 1971 on King Records.[1] It was #26 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and #137 on The Billboard 200 in 1971.[2]
It's a very untypical album for James Brown. All instrumental and full of heavy fuzzed-out guitars in a jazzy psychedelic rock-progressive rock style, resembling the first records by Funkadelic. All songs is actually by James Matthews and David Matthews (keyboardist) and the record is sort of a second album by Matthews' Grodeck Whipperjenny group.[3] Dave Matthews worked as the band leader for James Brown at the time.
