Average White Band - This World Has Music
Review by Miriam Nicoletta Domingo Lois
The album "This World Has Music" by Average White Band is a delightful collection of soulful and funky tunes that will keep you grooving from start to finish. The band's signature sound shines through in every track, with tight grooves, smooth vocals, and catchy hooks that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head.
The album kicks off with the upbeat and funky "Let's Go Round Again," which sets the tone for what's to come. The band's infectious energy and skillful musicianship are on full display in this track, and it's a great introduction to the rest of the album.
Other standout tracks include the soulful ballad "A Love of Your Own," the funky and upbeat "Whatcha' Gonna Do for Me," and the smooth and jazzy "Cloudy."

About Average White Band
Original Members:
Alan Gorrie (b. 19th July 1946, Perth, Scotland; bass, vocals); Mike Rosen (trumpet, guitar); replaced by Hamish Stuart (b. 8th October 1949, Glasgow, Scotland; guitar, vocals); Owen 'Onnie' McIntyre (b. 25th September 1945, Lennoxtown, Scotland; guitar); Malcolm 'Mollie' Duncan (b. 24th August 1945, Montrose, Scotland; saxophone); Roger Ball (b. 4th June 1944, Broughty Ferry, Scotland; saxophone, keyboards); Robbie McIntosh (b. 6th May 1950, Dundee, Scotland, d. 23 September 1974, Hollywood, U.S.A; drums).
History:
This unique act, an R'n'B/ soul group from Scotland and originally with no black musicians became one of the best selling and sounding funk bands in the world. The horn section started out as "The Dundee Horns". They can be heard on Johnny Nash's reggae hit "I Can See Clearly Now".
Eric Clapton and Bonnie Bramlett (of Delaney & Bonnie) helped them on their way to becoming a household name. But it wasn't until they reached the US and were signed to Atlantic Records that the Average White Band really took off (Jerry Wexler signed them on the spot, after they hit him at home on one of his parties, where they played him the basic tracks for what would become the White Album: "AWB").
Arif Mardin became their producer and together they couldn't do wrong. All of their seventies albums reached gold or even platinum status and hits such as the timeless "Pick Up The Pieces" and "Cut The Cake" were number 1 hits on the U.S. Billboard Charts.
Tragedy hit the young group in 1974 when their drummer, Robbie McIntosh died at a Hollywood party in a drug-related incident, but their act only became stronger. It was after Robbie's death, Steve Ferrone joined to replace Robbie on drums, and was the only black musician in band, it was a standing joke in the band that they 'played' with the press because of their band name.

as much as i love their other songs that became hits, or were sampled the fuck out of, this has got to be my favorite AWB song of all time. i just wish they'd do it live.

He's got to be playing 2 bass drums, hasn't he? Otherwise had the most elastic right ankle of all time.
