Our Take

AVERAGE WHITE BAND, known affectionately as AWB (which stands for Average White Band, in case you were wondering), have been grooving their way through the music scene for a whopping 50 years now. To celebrate this momentous occasion, they've re-released their self-titled debut album in a shiny new 50th Anniversary Edition.

Upon first listen, it's clear that AWB's funky soul sound hasn't aged a day. Tracks like "Pick Up the Pieces" and "Person to Person" still pack a punch, making you want to get up and boogie like it's 1974 all over again. The band's tight instrumentation and smooth vocals are as fresh as ever, proving that good music truly is timeless.

But don't let the familiar classics overshadow the lesser-known gems on this album. Tracks like "You Got It" and "Work to Do" showcase the band's versatility and creativity, with intricate rhythms and soulful melodies that keep the listener engaged from start to finish.

Overall, the 50th Anniversary Edition of AWB's debut album is a must-have for fans old and new. It's a funky, feel-good trip down memory lane that will have you dusting off your dancing shoes and grooving along like it's the first time you've heard these timeless tunes. Cheers to 50 years of AWB and here's to many more!
