Free Music Review: His best studio work
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is a window into a breif period in SRV's career. A time when his guitar playing was flawless, but before his drug and alchohol addiction began to drag him and his bandmates down. The album kicks off with the ultra fast and rockin' instrumental "skuttle buttin'." Next comes "Couldn't stand the weather" which quite honestly is one of my least favorite SRV tracks. The funkiness and weird time changes just make it seem like a song that doesn't fit SRV's tastes. "Voodoo Chile (slight return)" is a great Hendrix remake. On bootleg versions of this song, SRV quotes "The Power of Soul" off Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies album, however this is sadly excluded. It is an impressive version nonetheless. "Cold Shot" is a good, but not great blues with the standard SRV flair. "Tin Pan Alley" is a looooooong and sloooow blues with amazing guitar. My only complaint: why couldn't SRV hit a chord at the end of the song instead of just letting Layton pick up the slack? This is really nitpicking, the song is a great one with superb performances all around. "Honey Bee" is a great piece of rolling blues which is a rather underrated song in SRV's catalogue. "Stang's Swang" is a nice short piece of Jazz which seems a little out of place, but definatley establishes SRV as a fan and player of the Jazz genre. Half of the bonus tracks are great, and the other half are rather weak. The weak ones are "Look at Little Sister" and "Gimme Back My Wig" which are just about dumb subjects that nobody really wants to hear about. The great ones are Freddie King's "Hideaway" and Earl King's "Come on Pt.3." Hideaway's rythem and structure allow SRV to go into basic and freewheeling blues licks. A catchy tune and a great one at that. Finally "Come On" is just a killer closer. With its incredibly fast tempo and drenchs of wah-wah, this is the definition of hard-nosed blues rock. This CD is perhaps a little inconsistent, but the music is good 'ol blues, a staple most SRV fans have come to enjoy and will only want more of after they hear this album.
