Jaimoe Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I've been pretty hard on these boys the last few years, but tonight's song and performance pleased me. The song was from their upcoming album and thankfully, it's blues-based, with an dirty Allman's vibe. Luther played one of the longest solos I've heard on a talk show, even rivalling My Morning Jacket's solos on One Big Holiday from a few years back, also on Conan.If this song is any indication ( and by the way, the Allstars are back to being a 3-piece ), then I'll be first in line to embrace the Allstar's return to producing vital and exciting Mississippi Delta jam-blues music.

Del Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I'd still love to see them live, despite a lot of bad press that they've received recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 They actually don't receive bad press for live performances, just for their last two disappointing studio releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I've seen them live 3 times and they always deliver.I think that now that they have returned to a 3-piece, the bad live press will go away. I think the twin lead guitar experiment failed, even though I like the Burnside family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I look forward to checking them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 "I'd still love to see them live" The three times I saw them, I thought they were excellent. Luther Dickinson is wicked. When he wakes up, he puts his pants on one leg at a time, the only difference is that he produces gold solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
