Amazon.com Recorded at the height of Mr. Superbad's reign, this high-octane, 17-song set is guaranteed to give Santa Claus a soul transfusion--and put a little extra kick into that mistletoe kiss. While JB spends a fair amount of time pouring his heart out on inspired renditions of favorites such as "Merry Christmas Baby" and "Please Come Home," he and his always-stellar band really shine on a spate of originals that takes Christmas from an idealized holiday and makes it real. They do so in ways that are fun ("Go Power at Christmas Time") or with a dose of social consciousness ("Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto"), but the mere fact that Brown makes it all work--and makes it funky in the process--is a joy to behold. --David Sprague Product Description James Brown's beloved Christmas album finds him meeting traditional Yuletide sentiment halfway and making it funky. It's an album that not only references old Saint Nick, but gives him orders, such as in "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto." The album's signature playfulness isn't just veneer, but if you were to scrape it with a fingernail you'd find that for James Brown a Merry Christmas is an act of will.
