Night of the wolfie

al foster band - night of the wolf

just a quick one today, seeing as i haven’t contributed for a week! the amazing night of the wolf is a bit of a hear no evil favourite and has rocked many a revolution in its time! it’s also an absolute classic and is credited as being one of the records that apparently caused a split in the northern soul scene of the mid 1970s.

al foster was a jazz drummer that played for many artists, including miles davis, but along with his band he released this beast in 1975 on the legendary roulette label. this used to be a ridiculously cheap record, until it found huge popularity on the re-emerging funk scene of the 90s, getting plays from the likes of keb darge and mr scruff.

this has been a huge favourite of mine since the very first time i heard it a few years ago and is always in the bag!

oh, and just for the record, this record has nothing to do with a certain kev maguire.

You really didn’t do a good job of covering your tracks. I seem to remember a film or 2 escaping your shred-omatic: ‘Teen Wolfie’ and ‘Teen Wolfie Too’ unless I’m very much mistaken.
