There should be, can't believe I haven't started a thread on one of my favourite funk bands.Anyone else a fan?
If you haven't heard any then you NEED this album especially.

Was recently listening to The Wild Magnolias' "They Call us Wild," and something about the sound of it made me want to pull out my old vinyl of "Mandrilland" for the first time in years. (The four songs that segue together to make up a suite on side one are awesome.)
Turns out they were both recorded in the same place, Studio In The Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana.

I only have a double best-of, but there are about a metric shit-ton of recognizable samples on it.

What a cover!

I have the wild magnolia cd too but never made the connection.
re the samples, there was an acid house track that sampled some of the spoken word from a track on Is.

They're like War with fewer hits.

I like war but mandrill were in a higher league IMO.Mandrill do what Santana shouldve done instead of the crap he made after the 1st 2 albums.

According to wikipedia they still exist! And recorded an Obama tribute last year! That's kind of comforting to know.

Those first two Mandrill albums are just perfection.
