Ambergris AMBERGRIS

Super over funky horn band. Endless Nights and Walk on the Water are oddly interesting. Produced by Steve Cropper.

My dad was the lead guitarist when he was 18 for this band, glad to have the vinal for it! very fast shipping, great service!

The other reviewers are way off this is one of the worst Horn Rock albums ever. Former Blood, Sweat & Tears member Jerry Weiss is in this band. This album is very lackluster the songs are not very well written nothing on here stands out at all. Play On Player is a funny song but not in a good way. As a Horn Rock Expect i can tell you there are tons of albums better than this. Try Rastus, Gas Mask, The Keef Hartley Band, Cold Blood, Little John, Sunship anything but this.

Of that BS&T/Chicago slew of horn bands that got so huge in the early 1970s, Ambergris is one of the least known. But one of the bestJerry Wiese was in this band, and he had also been in the Al Kooper BS&T on  Child Is Father to the Man .Ths album is not quite as inventive, but is filled to the brim with blues, jazz, R&B, and even some James Brownisms that actually work. This is thick, excellent funky horn rock. Music that stays on rock proper--never goes to Vagas.Excellent
