Get on the Good Foot (album)

Get On the Good Foot is the 34th studio album by American funk and soul musician James Brown. It was released as a double LP on November 20, 1972, by Polydor Records.

Critical reception
In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, Russell Gersten said most of the album comprises a few "horrible" new songs and many "inferior" renditions of older songs from Brown, whom Gersten accused of repetitiveness and "egomania". Robert Christgau from The Village Voice said "if this were the world's only James Brown album it would be priceless. But there's a lot of waste here, and Brown's voice can't carry ballads the way it used to".
