Mandrill - Solid (1975)
Mandrill were a psychedelic funk band from Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 1968 their sound was a heady brew that threw funk, soul, rock and latin influences together. In the early '70s their sound was characterised by energetic funk jams with acid guitar and mindblowing percussion breakdowns, by the time this album was released their sound had become a touch smoother...still cosmic though, and still funky.
Here's a clip of the band playing live on Soul Train in 1973:

This is some "solid" funk. A decent album from start to finish with some real nice highlights. Thank you.
