The Boris Gardiner Happening - Sledgehammer
Review by Carla BeDell
The Boris Gardiner Happening's album Sledgehammer is a classic funk and soul masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences even today. The album features some of the most memorable tracks of the era, including "Ghetto Funk," "My Commanding Wife," and the title track "Sledgehammer."
The album is a perfect example of the band's signature sound, with its funky basslines, groovy guitar riffs, and soulful vocals. The band's tight musicianship and infectious energy make every track on the album an absolute joy to listen to.
