A 1975 recording which is a more elaborate and, in some ways, more sophisticated fusion of funk, Afro-Cuban rhythms, traditional chants, and aural images of Indians. It won the European award for best R&B album of 1975, but curiously was not released in the United States until 1994. Prior to its U.S. release, it was a much sought-after recording by serious U.S. collectors.
"They call us wild / well we got soul / and when we do our thing / we lose control". The Wild Magnolias are a Mardi Gras Indian band of irresistable funkiness (like the Wild Tchoupitoulas, The Meters etc.), but this album also has a dark quality, like Dr. John's voodoo on Gris Gris. An electric bass - they use more amplification than the other bands mentioned - drives the groove against sounds that seem to come straight from the bayou. The vocals sound like they're coming from beyond. As much as they have in common with the other New Orleans funk bands, the Wild Magnolias have their own niche in the genre. |
