March 28,1979 § * a'l 8 "Feel no By Gwen Bikis The Average White Band is anything but your average white band; the band is a bunch of Scottish guys who have been guests on Soul Train, and whose concert audiences are largely black. Their appreciative public, though, is not limited to blacks. "Feel No Fret" AWB'S latest album, derives its appeal from its smooth vocal harmo nies and strong, solid, soul beats. The material varies from new-disco (as in the cover version of Burt Bacharach's "Walk On By") to fast and funky ("Fire Burning") and sloppy love ballads ("Ace of Hearts") redeemed by singing as sweet as your lover and smooth as midnight blue.

"Atlantic Avenue" is one of my favorites, maybe because it makes my mouth water for cool sea breezes and warm waves. "Atlantic Avenue" is for the late seventies what "Under the Boardwalk" was for the early sixties, only in Average White style. I don't really care for "Walk On By," perhaps out of a prejudice for anything that even vaguely smacks of sedate cock tail-lounge disco. I'm not fami liar with Dionne's original ver sion, but I'd wager that the strong beat is original. Actually it's not so bad -- I would rate it far above elevator muzak, but I like the rest of the album better. There's nothing on "Feel No Fret" quite like "Cut the Cake" SSOO awards presented by the Board of Visitors to the two faculty members recognized for their excellence as teachers.

Guilfordian or "Pick Up the Pieces," with the punching horn lines and the kind of sound that at first made me believe that The Average White Band was a black band with a strange name for a black band. But "Fire Burning," which has a good sax break, and guitar work with a touch of city blues. "Stop the Rain" also has the same tough black edge I wish there were more of on this smoothly varnished and fi nished album. tence, personal relationships with students and contribution to the overall quality of college life.
