I am so disappointed by this CD. They sound drunk. Or high. Or both. The first song
Buddy's Blues is OK but it's downhill from there. Buddy goes out of tune and on the next four songs he plays with a
way out of tune guitar, it's like he just didn't care.
By the time they play
Messin with the Kid it's sorta half ass OK. Like maybe he made an attempt to tune up. But then the sax player is ridiculously out of tune on one of the next songs, it's almost Spinal Tap-ish. Just a train wreck, but they're pro's and they keep stumbling forward.
There are three bonus tracks but they are only marginally better. I realize it was 1964 and all that, I'm not a techno nazi where 1964 has to live up to 2009/2010 present day technology/tuning standards but this CD shouldn't have been released.
Avoid!
Then again it's an interesting historical document of what a drunk(?) blues band sounds like.
