The godfaather of DC Go-Go, Chuck Brown was an innovator all his own. Fusing proto-hip hop scat with funk-infused african rhythms, reggae, soul, and rock, his live performances were especially explosive. The call and response on this version of “Hey Joe” bursts with an immediately apparent energy, a transportive sense of excitement. It’s hypnotic, enlivening, and, indeed, befitting a man they called king.
