Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.

Gettin' Down To It by James Brown

Gettin’ Down to It is James Brown proving that he wasn’t just a powerhouse performer — he was a storyteller, a stylist and, above all, a man who could make any genre his own. This album sees James Brown not as the Godfather of Soul or the Father of Funk, but as a smoky jazz lounge singer, crooning classic standards alongside the phenomenal Dee Felice Trio. It’s a record filled with tenderness, passion, and a deep love for the jazz tradition that influenced him long before he became a global icon.
