Average White Band, AWB (1974)
Elvis, the Beatles and numerous others may have admired and reinterpreted black music for the mainstream, but you would never have doubted their whiteness. Average White Band, on the other hand, really sound black, and were true contemporaries of trailblazers like Sly and the Family Stone and the Isley Brothers. Tight and seriously funky – but Scottish – this album offers floor-filling classics like Got The Love, Pick Up The Pieces and Work To Do, alongside smokier grooves like Just Want To Love You Tonight. All is sewn together with effortless melody and Alan Gorrie and Hamish Stuart’s peerless vocal harmonies.
