CD Reviews

Ok...but have heard better
Gary W. Rice | Fenton, Michigan United States | 01/08/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I recently purchased this because I had come across Willie and the Poor Boys, "Tear It Up - Live" and liked a lot of the cuts on it. Particularly, when Gary Brooker came front and center, the cut commanded your attention and it was excellent rock and roll. "High School Confidential" and "What'd I Say" just jump off the CD and are a great listen.



However, on this double disc, Brooker is around only on the first disc and he lights up "Land of 1000 Dances", "Good Golly Miss Molly", "Stagger Lee", "Rockin Pneumonia..." and a few others. His cuts continue to be consistently excellent. Also, the guitar work on "Tear It Up" is just amazing (Albert Lee). After that, the musicians and performances are just ok. There is a good cut of "Chantilly Lace" on the second disc but that is about it.



Again, as a review, I would get "Tear It Up - Live" by Willie and the Poor Boys first before purchasing this live set. Many of the players are the same and the audio and performances are much better."
