Our Take

The Average White Band may not have the most exciting name in the music biz, but don't let that fool you - these Scottish lads know how to funk it up! The Essential Selection serves up a tasty collection of the band's greatest hits, from the infectious grooves of "Pick Up the Pieces" to the smooth sophistication of "Cut the Cake." This album is a must-have for any self-respecting funk aficionado, with its tight rhythms, funky guitar licks, and soulful vocals. The band's musicianship is on full display here, showcasing their ability to blend pop sensibilities with intricate jazz influences. Tracks like "School Boy Crush" and "Work to Do" will have you bopping along in no time, while slower jams like "A Love of Your Own" offer a nice change of pace. The band's signature horn section adds a touch of class to every track, elevating the groove to new heights. While some may dismiss the Average White Band as just another disco-era relic, this collection proves that their music stands the test of time. So dust off your platform shoes, grab a cocktail, and let the funk flow - the Average White Band are here to make you move!
