No1 too disjointed for me and No2 just sounds weird. No3 good though - back to the straight and narrow.
ReplyDelete#1 had a decent front line but an abysmal rhythm section. #2 was surprisingly dull given the calibre of players.
ReplyDelete#3 was a tune I dislike but the performance was excellent, as the California Ramblers always are under whatever flag they fly.
Yes, curious collection this time round.
