AWB - Cut The Cake Person To Person
Review by Nicolas Kern
Cut The Cake Person To Person is a classic album by AWB that features the band's signature funk and soul sound. The album was released in 1975 and includes hit tracks such as "Cut The Cake" and "School Boy Crush." The album is a perfect example of the band's ability to seamlessly blend jazz, funk, and soul to create a sound that is both unique and timeless.
The album opens with the title track "Cut The Cake," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is a funky, upbeat track that features the band's signature horn section and catchy lyrics. It is followed by "Person To Person," a slower, more soulful track that showcases the band's ability to create a smooth groove.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Got The Love," a funky track with a catchy chorus, and "If I Ever Lose This Heaven," a soulful ballad that features the stunning vocals of lead singer Alan Gorrie. The album also includes a cover of the classic soul track "I Heard It Through The Grapevine," which the band puts their own unique spin on.

About AWB
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.
