Help me identify this music?
heard this album way back in the mid-70's - kinda alt.country-ish and the refrain on one of the songs went something like - 'shake a leg, mama, shake a leg, shake a leg, mama, shake a leg'.

too obscure? been trying to finds the name of this record for some time.

7. The band is Sea Level.
Edited on Sun Mar-13-05 08:26 PM by ronzo
it's on one of those records, hand to god...
mmmm... shoals...

edit: from their eponymous first release in '77. In general, they leaned toward jazz. That's a great southern fried tune! I'll drink to that one.

11. Sea level? Dang. First concert I ever saw, ca. 1976
Opening for the Cate Brothers. An odd pairing, that.
