James Brown in the studio with Foo Fighters and Butch Vig

Nice photo of James with Dave Grohl and Butch Vig from the session that produced “Wheels” and “Word, Forward” from the Greatest Hits compilation.  Taken at Studio 606 in L.A. this past June.  Not exactly current, but I just saw it for the first time today and thought I’d share.
