First Base - Babe Ruth



First Base by Babe Ruth (1972)

Incredibly funky psych-rock album. The most well known song from this album among b-boys and their fans will definitely be "The Mexican" which is used widely at battles and jams around the world.
It starts off very hard with "Wells Fargo" then slows down significantly with "King Kong", an instrumental, and "Black Dog".

The female vocalist has a very distinctive squeeky quality to her voice. I find that it adds personality to her vocals it but I could see how some might be turned off by it.

Favorite: "The Mexican" "Wells Fargo"
