		With critics raving and the white album perched atop the charts, tragedy struck.
		AWB came through town a couple years back, playing Club Congress on a tour in search of a recording contract.
		Both TOP and AWB are expected to sprinkle in some new material along with their standards at the Tucson concert (which is expected to be a sellout).

	B Notes 41
		The 1970s were very good for them, but by the 1980s, sales of their albums had fallen to such a point that they decided to break up.
		Even though album sales have not necessarily increased, sampling of their music by over one hundred hip-hop and rap artists, as well as use of "Pick Up The Pieces" in a number of movies and commercials, worked to raise the band's visibility.
		AWB is known for their funky 1970s groove.

	Average White Band Awb
		This 'white album' put them over the top but I believe rabid fans will confirm it was their second (the first LP didn't do any business in the States, at least).
		They played extremely well as was the case of any good R and B outfit--musical excellence always was a minimum entrance requirement to cut it in R and B. They even paid dues to elder statesmen The Isley Brothers by a faithful rendition of their "Work To Do".
		So AWB triumphed after all--"Pick Up the Pieces" is an R and B standard, and people go "what?...oh yeah" when reminded that The Band who did it were a bunch of Scottish White boys.

	Funk Page -- Average White Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		After their 1973 debut album, Show Your Hand, went unnoticed, they hooked up with producer Arif Mardin to record Average White Band (frequently called AWB because of the initials on the cover).
		AWB nearly replicated its success with the third album, Cut the Cake, and its title single, both of which reached the Top Ten.
		AWB managed a couple more gold albums in Person to Person (January 1977) and Warmer Communications (March 1978), and its popularity lasted longer in the UK than in the US, but by the start of the '80s the band was permanently out of fashion.

		Although their 1973 debut album, Show Your Hand, showed promise, it was not until the band was signed to Atlantic Records that its true potential blossomed.
		AWB, also known as the "White Album" in deference to its cover art, was a superb collection and paired the band's dynamism with Arif Mardin's complementary production.
		AWB also topped the US album chart but this euphoric period was abruptly halted in 1974 by the tragic death of Robbie McIntosh following a fatal ingestion of heroin at a Hollywood party.

		It was another great AWB performance tonight, outdoors in a beautiful setting by the Delaware River with the City of Philadelphia providing the backdrop for this free show.
		This twenty year old Californian wrote all of the songs on her debut album and was signed by Sony immediately after recording her demos with the assistance of two members of Blind Melon.
		In the course of nine albums over a sixteen year career that includes any number of musical styles (not to mention hairdos), Shelby Lynne has finally found just the right mix of music on which to exercise her prodigious talent, and the ideal band of musicians to play it.

	Average White Band
		If it wasn't apparent from its first album (on MCA), it is from the second: Scotland's Averge White Band is one of the best self-contained soul units in existence.
		But chiefly responsible for the AWB's aural distinctiveness are the vocals: Lead singer Alan Gorrie (once in a good though little-known group called Forever More) often resembles early Steve Winwood in his strength and flexibility, while falsetto vocalist Hamish Stuart possesses an amazingly rich, rangy voice, which he uses with the daring of an aerialist.
		The tracks are sequenced in such a way that the first half of the album emphasizes rhythmic energy while side two is dominated by a bittersweet romantic intensity.

		If you like AWB for their radio-friendly funk workouts and catchy melodies, you would probably be happier with their earlier albums "AWB" and "Cut the Cake," or their "Best Of" compilation.
		Before this recording, I felt AWB was a "2nd division" funk aggregate, but from the introductory "Overture", I HEARD that these guys were finally on to a mini-funk masterpiece.
		I honestly don't think the level of inspired playing that the band had throughout this album can be found on any of their other releases, even the ones that are pretty decent in their own right.

	RollingStone.com: Cut The Cake : Average White Band : Review
		AWB has been hailed as the flest-sounding white group since the Stones, but that's true only in a very technical sense.
		AWB's accomplishment is a worthy one, of course, particularly since it comes at a time when fl and white pop are more divorced from one another than ever.
		It is devoid of personality, perhaps because the session musicians AWB emulates are generally faceless.

	AWB by The Average White Band: Album Reviews
		After debuting with 1973's excellent but neglected Show Your Hand (later reissued as Put It Where You Want It), the Average White Band switched from MCA to Atlantic and hit big with this self-titled gem.
		Upon first hearing gutsy, Tower of Power-influenced funk like "Person to Person" and the instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces" (a number one R&B hit), many soul fans were shocked to learn that not only were the bandmembers white -- they were whites from Scotland.
		Like Teena Marie five years later, AWB embraced soul and funk with so much conviction that it was clear this was anything but an "average" white band.

	Amazon.com: Music: Pickin' Up the Pieces: The Best of Average White Band (1974-1980) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Things quieted down for AWB as the 80s began; disco polarized the funk audience while its minimalist successors, rap and new wave, had little connection to the group's sophisticated big-band funk.
		Not being overly familiar with AWB's entire body of work, I found this disc extremely enjoyable to listen to and have the disc in heavy rotation esp when I feel nostalgic about the great bands and music that was born in the late 60's/early 70's.

		After probably eight albums for Atlantic, nine all together, our first was recorded in England but released in the States, we decided to dis-band.
		When we came to the States and decided we were going to stay, we recorded a second album for MCA and they really didn't know who we were, because we were signed to Europe, not the United States.
		On September 23rd, 1974, at a party thrown for Gregg Allman, AWB drummer Robbie McIntosh died from a heroin overdose.

	Average White Band Bio and Update at SoulTracks
		The group has continued in various incarnations since then, releasing Soul Tattoo in 1996, a live album in 1999, and most recently recording a new studion album, Living in Colour, that is available on their website.
		Hamish Stuart finally recorded his first solo album, the excellent Sooner or Later, in 2000 for Compass Records (it is still in print and is worth finding), combining his wonderfully funky guitar work with very Philly-sounding arrangements (check out especially his ballad "New Kind of Fool").
		While producers have on several occasions during AWB's career attempted to tinker with the group's raw, loose sound to better match the then-popular style (whether it be late 70s disco or 80s electronic pop), AWB has always been at its best making jazz-infused funky music in the tradition of James Brown.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Soul Tattoo [IMPORT] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hip-hop, urban contemporary and new jack swing artists sampled AWB's '70s classics to death in the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s, and such retro acts as the Brand New Heavies wore AWB's influence like a badge of honor.
		When Soul Tattoo was released in mid-1997, AWB was a quintet consisting of longtime members Alan Gorrie (lead vocals, bass), Onnie McIntyre (guitar, vocals) and Roger Ball (sax) and newcomers Eliot Lewis (keyboards, lead vocals, bass and guitar) and Pete Abbott (drums, percussion).
		Longtime AWB fans will be glad to hear how well Gorrie's voice has held up, and they'll definitely find Soul Tattoo to be inspired and satisfying.
