Average White Band – AWB is the self-titled second studio album by the Scottish funk and soul group Average White Band, released in 1974 on Atlantic Records. Often referred to as the “white album” due to its minimalist cover design, AWB became the band’s breakthrough release, blending tight funk grooves with smooth soul melodies.
