Some of the cleanest funk I’ve heard, Cut The Cake is full of passable grooves and soul, along with some standouts like the title track and Groovin’ The Night Away. Average White Band hit the studio in 1974 to record their follow-up to AWB minus one drummer after the rhythm section accidentally snorted heroin that they mistook for cocaine at a Hollywood party. The bassist was saved by Cher, however, who kept him awake until the effects of the narcotic wore off. The drummer was not as fortunate, and the host of the party, a 30 year old “stock whiz kid,” was sentenced to 120 days in jail and four years probation for involuntary manslaughter.
