Fred Wesley & The JB's - Doing It To Death Part 1 2 More Peas

Review by Armando Rapchan

Fred Wesley & The JB's have been a force in funk music for decades, and their latest album, Doing It To Death, is a testament to their enduring talent. The album is a tight, groovy collection of tracks that showcase the band's signature sound, with plenty of horn-driven funk and soulful vocals.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Doing It To Death," a funky, uptempo number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the band moves through a series of funk and soul classics, including "You Can Have Watergate But Gimme Some Bucks And I'll Be Straight" and "More Peas."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Damn Right I Am Somebody," a funky, brass-heavy number that features some of the band's best playing. The track is a perfect showcase for Wesley's trombone playing, which is as tight and soulful as ever.

No one can sit still with this song playing.

I have this 45 with “Everybody’s Got Soul” (aka “Doing It To Death - Part 2”) as the B-side. The full album cut was over 12 minutes long making it the longest track to date.
