After mastepieces in the 80`s, some mixed releases in the 90`s the band ended their recording activities unexpectedly on on a high in 2005 .... btw there wouldn`t be a great release by the Apache Band without a splendid Thelonious Monk cover ....
So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing ....
Fatback Band "Disco Bass" (Spring Records) 1979 .... great track from an outstanding Funk album .... btw the bass groove from Johnny Flippin is 🔥hot🔥 ....
Beneath superb music this album houses a great cover photography .... it is said that that during the late seventies - when these recordings were made - he was off drugs making him likely looking better .... unfortunately thereafter alcohol/drugs took their toll 😪😪 ...
