Vinyl - Live at Sweetwater is a superb album! Sometimes a live album can be a little rough around the edges but not this one! I have seen Vinyl play live twice and not only to the put on one hell of a show but this record really captures the essence of their performance. Vinyl is a instrumental band that reps the Bay Area. The band consists of a drummer, guitarist, bass, saxophone, trumpet, and keyboard. They for the most part keep it in the funk genre but have some real nice jazz, hip hop, latin, and reggae influences woven into their grooves. This particular album has some real nice gems on it! "Night Ride," the second track on side A, has a awesome melody at the beginning that you could hear sampled in a killer hip hop song and then drops straight into a skanky reggae groove. Another track is the first song on side 2, "Last Camel to Vegas," that is so nice it brings a smile to your face. I highly suggest the LP Vinyl - Live at Sweetwater, it is an amazing album start to finish!
