Yellow Sunshine - Yellow Sunshine

ORIGINATION Skye Presents The Breaks (v/a)
LAST LISTENED TO some time ago
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT it not quite as small as it may appear at first
RATING

Yellow Sunshine were formed for only one self-titled LP of funk rock fusion in 1973. This, the title cut, is a respectable entry in the funk rock field. It is an entirely guitar driven piece, with the only non-rock standard instrument being some bongos. This gives it a vague Santana-ish feel, although to be fair the guitar playing is never as flash.

The track has also been plundered several times over in recent years for its groovy drum break that occurs near the end.
