You Can't Keep a Good Man Down

Released

Hank Ballard was an influential R’n’B artist in the 1950s, as well as the man who introduced James Brown to King Records who then went on to release his music. Brown repaid the favour in 1969 when he produced this album of funk and soul for Ballard. It’s essentially a James Brown and band album with Ballard delivering the vocals over a set of loose, slightly southern-flavoured funk and R’n’B tracks along with some retro-soul ballads, and is a great example of late sixties James Brown funk.
