Sho Is Funky Down Here

An entirely instrumental album, it's full of heavy fuzzed-out guitars in a jazzy psychedelic rock style, resembling the first records by Funkadelic. All songs are by James Brown and David Matthews and the record is somewhat a second album by Matthews' Grodeck Whipperjenny group. David Matthews worked as the band leader for James Brown at the time. == Chart performance ==

Sho Is Funky Down Here peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Best Selling Soul LP's chart and No. 137 on the Top LP's chart in May 1971. == Critical reception ==

Kurt Edwards reviewed the album for AllMusic, writing, "Even within that narrow subsection, Sho Is Funky Down Here stands out: an almost completely unsoulful album — at least as close as James Brown will ever come, even in his later years — full of fuzzed-out guitars, poorly recorded drums, and not much else." ==Track listing==
