"Picking up the Pieces" Solo Hybrid Fingerstyle Guitar Live....... AWB cover

Live @ the Little Goose....Thank You Karen!
:by the Average White Band.....The guitar line of the song came from Hamish Stuart, while Roger Ball wrote the first part of the horn melody. The song was produced by Arif Mardin. According to Malcolm 'Molly' Duncan, he had disagreed with releasing the song as a single because the song is a "funk instrumental played by Scotsmen with no lyrics other than a shout". He also said about the shouts of "Pick up the pieces": "It's about picking yourself up when things aren't going well. We'd spent a lot of time making no money whatsoever, so it felt very relevant."The song was included as an extended long version on the live Person To Person album (1976) (18:06) and on the various artists album The Atlantic Family Live at Montreux (1977) (21:40). The tenor saxophone solo on the Montreux version is by Michael Brecker. The solo on the original release is by Molly Duncan.
