Barrence Whitfield & The Savages "Live Emulsified" 1989

Barrence Whitfield is the owner of one incredible pair of lungs and limitless energy and enthusiasm for his music. A soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, and early Don Covay, Whitfield & the Savages, though never breaking big nationally, are a great cult act, a triumph of substance over style, with a bunch of terrific records to boot.
Barrence Whitfield and his second Savages lineup toured regularly. The band followed its first album, OW! OW! OW!, with this live set. Recorded in Los Angeles; Houston; and Austin, Texas; LIVE EMULSIFIED captures the members of the band at their most furious - some fans contend that the band's studio albums never matched the pure adrenaline rush of its live shows. Nevertheless, the albums that Barrence Whitfield & The Savages have produced all contain powerful individual performances. On LIVE EMULSIFIED, the band's soloists - saxophonist David Sholl, guitarist Milton Reder, and keyboardist Bruce Katz - are inventive and quick, improvising with precision while paying careful attention to the groove of each song. from: Answers.com
