James Brown and His Famous Flames Tour the U.S.A. is the fifth studio album by American musician James Brown and The Famous Flames. The album was released in 1962, by King Records.
Review by Jason Ankeny
The title's more than a bit disingenuous--Tour the U.S.A. was recorded in the studio, not on the road--but otherwise the music is as straightforward and sincere as one would expect from James Brown. Comprised largely of hard-hitting instrumentals, the album shifts the emphasis away from Brown himself onto backing unit the Famous Flames, and while firmly rooted in the R&B conventions of the era, the music clearly anticipates the era-defining grooves of his premier supporting unit, the JB's.
