REDBONE POTLATCH FULL ALBUM
Redbone is a Mexican-American/Native American funk rock band originating in the 1970s with brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. They reached the Top 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974 with their single, "Come and Get Your Love". The single went certified Gold selling over a million copies. It also made Redbone the first Native American band to reach the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, with the song reaching number 5. Redbone achieved hits with their singles "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", "Wovoka", and "Maggie" in the United States, although these singles were more successful overseas.
Native American brothers Patrick (bass and vocals) and Candido "Lolly" Vasquez-Vegas (guitar, sitar and vocals) were born in Coalinga, California. Developing as musicians at an early age, the brothers played with Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson at the Monterey Jazz and Pop Festival before relocating to Los Angeles in 1963. They first performed as the Vegas Brothers, then later as the Crazy Cajun Cakewalk Band, then the Avantis. The brothers attempted to cash in on the surf craze popularized by Jan and Dean and the Beach Boys, with such songs as "Gypsy Surfer" and "Wax 'em Down" on the Chancellor label, and "The Phantom Surfer" on the Regency label. The Avantis featured future Beach Boy drummer Mike Kowalski, and their recordings earned them an opening slot on a Beach Boys' tour.
On April 22, 1970 history was created when Redbone introduced the very first Earth Day to the world in Philadelphia with their truly great Native American song "Chant 13th Hour". This wonderful chanting song may well be one of the world’s first examples of “World Music”.
In 1972 they scored with "The Witch Queen of New Orleans," which reached #21 in the USA and #2 in the United Kingdom - and remains a Halloween favorite.
In 1973 Redbone released their most famous and iconic song, "Come And Get Your Love," on their fifth album, “Wovoka”.
Redbone’s music has proven to be timeless and on the pulse of the human condition
