Buddy Miles - Live ! (1971)

Buddy Miles - Live, Mercury Records (2 LP Set) (1971)

    Sadly for those without turntables this great live 2 LP set has never been released on CD.   This album captures Buddy in his "Them Changes" genre where funk , fusion and good ol' rock n' roll all came together.   For those who love classic James Brown era funk will drool over this album with its groovy rhythms and deep funk wakka wakka's ! Buddy's drumming get the royal treatment too with some pretty nifty percussive parts.  The band supporting him is also solid and tight offering organ, sax and trumpet interplay.   I must thank my pal Simon for picking this LP set up and making we aware of this long lost live album from Buddy.
