Customer Reviews
If you like music to be fun, this is your choice.
David Bromberg is a musical talent that for some reason has been relegated to a place of obscurity. His talent on string instruments is unquestioned, and his lyrics are hysterical. This album contains "Bullfrog Blues". This cut sums up everything that was hip in the late sixties, early seventies, and manages to do a pro-marijuana comment, anti-Hugh Hefner comment, mentions Kahlil Gibran, and somehow manages to tie this all into voyeurism and the blues. I have seen Bromberg twice in concert, and he performed "Will not Be Your Fool" each time with totally different lyrics. I do believe his version on this album is his bestinterpretation of this wondrful tune. Bromberg moves from country, to Delta blues to Electric blues, from mandalin to dobro to fiddle and seems to be master of all these strings. This is not music to be taken seriously, but music to listen to and realize how much fun music can actually be. What ever happened to David Bromberg?
No Chubby Thighs?
Too bad they split these volumes up. On vinyl, this album included the ironic "Idol with the Golden Head" and the delectably bluesy instrumental "Chubby Thighs." Because neither this Volume (1) nor Volume 2 has all the original songs on one CD, it gets only 3 stars. Had they all been here, this would be a definite 5-star CD.
Eclectic country/blues/rock guitarist best recorded showcase
Here is the best recorded argument for David Bromberg's inclusion into the live music hall of fame. He changes styles, moods, tempos, yet the music never loses the edge. Bromberg and the band never waver from their sparkling musicianship, but the foremost impression they leave you with is not so much about how great they are, but how much a-kickin' fun you're having listening to them.
