Buddy Miles - We Got To Live Together (1970)

Buddy Miles - We Got To Live Together 

  Released the same year as the classic vintage album "Them Changes" , " We Got To Live Together" was kind of a outshadowed beast.  However, behind this shroud is another fantastic album with some superb instrumentation and funk rock songs.  

This album features the standout drums and vocals by Buddy with a huge cast of top musicians and a big brass arsenal in support.    You can not listen to this album without stomping your toes and groovin to these guys.   

   A couple of moments to highlite ........."Easy Greasy" a five minute funked out psychfest with that early Chicago brass pumps and honks and the 12 minute title track "We Got To Live Together" with it's addictive hook and soul-funk grooves!

  My only complaint about this album is that it is super short clocking in around 30 mins.

During the recording of this album Buddy learned of the death of his bandmate Jimi Hendrix.
