"Uncle Jam Wants You" is an album by the American funk rock band Funkadelic, released in 1979. It is known for its strong funk sound, its politically charged themes, and its iconic album cover.
The album title is a clear reference to the famous "Uncle Sam Wants You!" US Army recruitment posters.
The album is considered a more militant continuation of the themes explored in Funkadelic's previous album, "One Nation Under a Groove". While "One Nation Under a Groove" imagined a utopian "Funkadelia," "Uncle Jam Wants You" encourages listeners to embrace funk and "rescue dance music from the blahs".
George Clinton, the mastermind behind Funkadelic, adopts the persona of "Uncle Jam" on the album, a "funk drill sergeant" urging people to join his "army" and dance.
The album, particularly the hit single "(Not Just) Knee Deep," had a profound influence on the West Coast hip-hop scene and groups like Uncle Jamm's Army.
In short, "Uncle Jam Wants You" is a call to join the "army" of funk, to embrace the music and let it move you, all while referencing the iconic American recruitment campaign and promoting a sense of unity and liberation through funk music.
