SRV 1ST THUNDER 1 CD
The audio quality on ?TFT? is very good and one of the best early SRV [pre
Chris L. and Tommy S.] live recordings. ?Te-Ni-Nee-Ni-Nu? were made popular
by the late great bluesman Slim Harpo.
a WONDERFUL boot CD. The first six or seven tracks are early studio demo
versions of many Texasflood album standards. The highlights of the disc
IMHO, however, are the seven or so demo tracks where SRV plays and Lou Ann
Barton sings. Believe me when I tell you this, and this disc proves it, the
original incarnation of Double Trouble was HOT. Lou Ann could melt paint
off
the walls with her live voice! There are many songs that Lou Ann eventually
put on her release ?Read My Lips?. Of course, RML was released much later
and without SRV on guitar. It?s very good but doesn?t hold a candle to the
cuts on The First Thunder.
The disc closes with a few of live tracks of SRV and Double Trouble at
Peonas with Johnny Reno on saxophone. I think that was an Austin bar back
in
the 70?s.
The value of this disc is not truly recognized until you read eitherof the
SRV biographies. It's just wonderful to hear these tracks after reading
about the early days of Double Trouble...this is when they were just making
music to have fun...everyone screwed everyone else, just for something to
do...SRV didn't give a crap whether anyone liked his music or not, cause HE
liked it. I just think this is a wonderful recording and all of you avid
fans owe it to yourself to get your hands on this.
