Herb-free Remedies Dept.



Cornucopiously
 FoamFeatured© antecedently [use search box, make request, quit whining - Ed.], Los Headhunters have put out consistently rewarding albums across the decades, with necessarily changing line-ups and *cough* tonal palette. Here's a couple of their most recent - there's another I missed, that apparently "feats" rap celebrities, which doesn't sound like much of a swing in the hammock to me, but these two deliver a satisfying and gluten-free listening experience, so do please set aside a few moments in your busy schedule to accommodate their offerings. Swell!

  4. This is very sweet stuff. The remaining core members (sans th' Herbster) slip in and out of a signature sound without either straining to reinvent the wheel or get stuck in a worn-out groove. This isn't their "soul album", either. Real musicians playing together in a way that's a privilege to hear.

    1. Thanks, Art! Particularly wanted to hear that one because the wild Blackbyrd McKnight's on it. Haven't visited that blog for a long time.

  7. Here's a really nice Herbie & Headhunters "boot", that I know very little about. That said, judging from the setlist (not to mention the hairstyles on the cover), I believe it's from 1974.
    The performance and audio is superb.
