Potlatch 1970 Album

Redbone

This should have been Redbone's debut. A very effective, intense, highly energetic cross between rock, R&B, pop, and their unique Native American-meets-Cajun vibe. Right from the jump they hit you with "Maggie", a pulsating, lethal, dance-friendly track, but the centerpiece here is the twin-bill jam of "Judgement Day" followed by "Without Reservation". The hyper-intensity and social messaging might turn off some listeners, but there is some levity to be found as well, as the loony "Drinkin' and Blo" can attest to.
