Biography

The small Scottish city of Dundee is not the kind of place to have any obvious connection with funk; damp and drizzly, conservative, and overwhelmingly white, the only way Dundee might funk is if it smells bad. But anyone can have the (musical) funk, and the Scotsmen who met at college in Dundee and formed Average White Band were not held back by their origins: they made international waves in the… Read more in Amazon's Average White Band Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel No Fret- Buy this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, July 11, 2002
This review is from: Feel No Fret & More (Audio CD)
On this 1979 album, the boys from the highlands are still churning out top quality precision grooves. On the song 'When will you be mine' Alan gorrie and Onnie McIntyre play some of the best guitar parts in the history of music (Quantized at birth)!! All this along with Hamish and the rest of the boys makes this an album that has amazed me every day since I first heard it (in 1979)! EVERY ONE IS A CLASSIC. Make these guys as rich as they deserve to be!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indeed Feel No Fret-This Is All Good., September 13, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Feel No Fret & More (Audio CD)
Scotland's own Average White Band had been around for eight years at this point.Up until now their career had been marked by peaks and valleys-both huge commercial successes and critical acclaim as well as career slumps and the death of a founding memeber.Still SWB soldiered on and grew up.Seven albums later they came up with 'Feel No Fret' in 1979.With an album cover dressed in sky blue this album stands heavily in contrast to the soft pop and dance music dominating the radio at this point in time-and for AWB indeed the dawn of a new day.
'Feel No Fret' is in fact a fantastic album,in fact maybe among their best.The quality of the songcraft is very high and the music ranges from soulful to funky to breezily sweet.On the title track and "When Will You Be Mine" the bands gifts for a strong groove and a catchy tune are in full swing-both songs have that great Stuart/Gorrie rhythm section working in full swing and splendid vocal arrangements-not to mention being funky to the nines."Please Don't Fall In Love",the bouncy "Atlantic Avenue" and "Ace Of Hearts" look to a gentler state of mind but no less energetic,same goes for th pretty ballad "Too Late To Cry".The album rounds off with the dance oriented "Fire Burning".
It's not surprising at all the despite it's 1979 release that 'Feel No Fret' has nothing what so ever to do with disco.What is a little surprising is that none of the music here particularly sounds like it comes from the late 70's-an era marked by heavy electronics and often slick production.And those are great in the right hands but AWB opted to stick with their classic sound as they had since the beginning.And either in spite or because of this happy musical surprises such as this album were bound to fall from the sky and brighten ones day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel No Fretter, March 24, 2002
By 
tom rawley (edinburgh, midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feel No Fret & More (Audio CD)
Wow AWB do it again the boys from Scotland are without doubt the best soul/funk band to come out of the U.K. shores. hamish and Alan along with the Dundee Horns not forgetting Onnie are sheer magic when it comes to creating original soulful sweet music. Feel no Fret has everything, funkadelis and melodic music all on one sleeve, please buy you will not be dissapointed my soul brothers. keep the soul searching Tom Edinburgh
