Average? I don't think so. These cats are awesome. By way of Scotland (and many other places), The Average White Band is one of those quintessential bands of the last 40 years. From monumental cuts like "Pick Up The Pieces", "Cut The Cake", "I'm The One", etc., AWB has remained in the forefront of the many bands that came out of the era of great bands that made it funky and kept you dancing. Oh yeah, they kept you loving on the great slow jams like "A Love Of Your Own" and "Cloudy." I hope that this show finds you in a great mood, and wanting for more to your musical palate. Can't forget the other cast of jams from Norman Connors, Glenn Jones, Lakeside, BB&Q Band, etc. And yes, don't forget to get your old school fix in 24/7 at www.greatsoulradio.com. Thanks as always for tuning in, and remember---Tell a friend, to tell a friend, to tell a friend, all about The Throwback Lounge. It's not just a show...IT'S AN EXPERIENCE!! 1 LOVE ;-)
