CD Reviews

Sure you've heard these for near fifty years already - hear'

C. Scanlon | among us humans | 03/11/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Hip-O Records re-issues this year old compilation of fourteen cuts from three UK shows and a BBC recording session. Sure many of these you have heard before in several recordings and places (I heard them done live about 1968 at the top of his show and his power, when he was still doing a guitar playing show, making that stage rock and singing out his heart - How Blue Can You Get? and shaking all of our hand and signing all of our papers later), but hear'em again right here.

Sure you can hear it on Live At The Regal/ Live In Cook County Jail (an excellent double to have - what more could you possibly want?) but hear it here too.

We find here two versions of the Thrill is Gone (of course) and Let the Good Times Roll and of course Caledonia. We are blessed here with Stormy Monday and How Blue Can You Get? A few seven minute cuts are Five Long Years and Ain't Nobody Home. I Gotto Move Out Of This Neighbourhood (yeah, I know, but on these British recordings that's the way they spelled it - not like out in the hood) is an eight minute cut, unusual for King Biscuit.

Get it. You won't be sorry, and get Regal and Cook County too and find out what it was ALL about!"
