Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith · 1 likes

2/5

Fine for what it was... All Organ and brass. Just not my instruments.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic · 1 likes

2/5

This is my 2nd attempt at this album. It came up earlier this year, it wasn't good then. But good now. Sleigh Bells sampled the only good 39 seconds from the entire album.
