Machine Gun

Commodores

Aggressive, clavinet-driven funk without a single ballad in sight. A high-velocity debut that captures the band at their grittiest and most rhythmic.

July 22, 1974 · CBS/Sony-01337

Find on Amazon

Relentless, high-velocity funk energy that prioritizes the pocket over the melody.
