No need to waste time making a mixtape for your next blues bash--just throw on this disc and let Elvin Bishop be your host for a night of rollicking fun. Bishop has traditionally been known for bouncy shows that incorporate both the deep blues he cut as an original member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the country-styled soul he gravitated to as one of the Capricorn label's popular Southern rock acts in the '70s. You can practically see his goofy grin and wild eyes as he knocks back an hour's worth of highlights from a 2006 show. Accompanied by a sympathetic eight-piece band that includes three background vocalists and a trombonist who also plays rubboard, this is a nonstop party that doesn't even slow down for the topical, politically based ruminations of "What the Hell Is Going On," one of only two tracks reprised from his appropriately titled 2005 comeback Gettin' My Groove Back. The slow blues of "Belly Rubbin'" and the opening instrumental "Stomp" spotlight Bishop's impressive guitar chops, but this is truly a group effort. He turns lead vocals over to other band members for three tracks, and if he's not enjoying himself as much as the audience, he ought to be nominated for an Oscar instead of a Grammy. Bishop cherry-picks "Stealin' Watermelons" from his early years, but generally sticks to fresh tunes and unusual covers such as Roy Milton's humorous "Keep a Dollar in Your Pocket" and Junior Parker's frisky "I Feel Alright Again." Let the booty bumpin' begin! --Hal Horowitz

One of the best examples of Humpback Whale recordings to date. I have heard them all.

Good for meditating or working in the basement. Also use it for going to sleep. Personally, don't appreciate it when driving, but HEY! Save the Whales. Collect the whole set!

great cd.......2007-01-04

I had been looking for whale songs for a while, and finally this cd filled my expectations. It is only natural whale voices, nothing more. Some of them give me a peculiar funny feeling, like if the whale were singing a joke, or laughing. Not for everyday, but I enjoy it once in a while.

Brian Stezer Orchestra: Ultimate Collection, Recorded Live.......2005-08-05

I was a Stray Cats' fan back in the day, and liked the song that was used in the GAP commercial, and wanted to get this 2 disk set after hearing part of it on classic rock. Definitely worthwhile, and it's not a real greatest hits, but each disk is from a concert, the first at Montreal at the start of the tour, the other at Tokyo at the end of their tour in the early 90's. A good combo of Stray Cats hits, older songs (Route 66, Get me to the Church on Time). Great use of horns to supplement a rocking sound. A great addition to my collection!

Crank up the volume and close your eyes baby!.......2004-11-17

There is NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING like the BSO live in concert, but this collection is as close as you can get to the absolute bliss, power, and pure adrenaline of BSO in person.

It is also a chance to experience the growth and polishing of the band over the years. Disk One seems to have a slightly odd sound mix and is a little rough around the edges. I don't recall that from the concert, but memory fades with age...and it was just such a thrill to see and hear people make such amazing music! Thank you Brian!!!

I do, however distinctly remember the Phoenix concert that was similar to Disk Two...and this is pretty darn close. Brian's musical and vocal talent is truly a gift. It is reproduced beautifully with all of the highs, lows, growls, and yodels! Bernie Dresel is amazing as usual. He is the king of drummers and has some great features on Disk 2 that will confound and bewilder anyone who understand what it takes to produce that percussion.

Since you can't buy a lifetime of live BSO concerts (too bad), buy this collection. It is a totally different experience than the studio albums and worth every cent!

Amazon.com

This is a dazzling recital, taped live at Carnegie Hall in November 2003--complete with applause. Lang Lang's virtuosity is almost frightening: the Liszt "Reminiscenses du Don Juan" is a showpiece when played "normally." Here, Lang plays it to its extremes, with soft passages amazingly soft and subtly delineated and the bigger moments heaven-thundering. And it is played so fast, and so accurately (a cascade of notes in mid-"La ci darem la mano" sounds like a waterfall), that it leaves the listener breathless--surely just what Liszt wanted. In a Haydn sonata, Lang's classical line is impeccable, but he's not afraid to shine through the music and embellish occasionally. The Schumann "Traumerei" is suitably dreamy and hushed; Schubert's "Wanderer" Fantasy, a real crowd-pleaser, is just that--beautifully played, familiar yet fresh sounding. And an encore, with Lang's father playing a two-string fiddle called the erhu, is a fascinating look into Eastern music. There's more (this is a 2-CD set), and it's stunning--and highly recommended for all admirers of great piano playing. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

Worst Wanderer Fantasy EVER?.......2007-02-14

I can't believe the positive reviews this recording has gotten. Don't believe the hype folks; Lang Lang may have technique to burn, but most 1st-year conservatory students possess at least the same interpretive depth, if not more. When he isn't indulging himself in interpretive excess, then Lang Lang is playing as if he really doesn't care much at all.

His Schubert is garbage. Let him stick to playing Chinese compositions unknown to Western audiences, because virtually none of us will have any way of drawing comparisons between his interpretation and that of others. I can only assume that his interpretation of Dun Tan is the definitive version --- but I doubt it.

Pianistic Glory at its best!!!!.......2006-11-07

Wow!!
I have read several of the 'negative' reviews here and can only conclude (after viewing the DVD four times and counting) that what may be going on with these folks is something they themselves simply don't understand (about themselves!). They cannot or will not accept that here with Lang Lang, as with Evgeny Kissin (ever notice?) the world is being introduced to the next and even greater generation of pianistic virtuosos, young prodigies who can do everything that Horowitz and even Lizst ever did and more... I have no doubt those two would agree were they alive today. Karajan wept (for joy)when he heard the young Kissin perform Chopin's Fantasy in F# minor, Mehta was so taken with Kissin's performance under his baton that he could not refrain from hugging the young boy after a stellar performance... Andre Watts, not often praising his contemporaries, mused about finding the nearest bridge to jump off after hearing Kissin play realizing he was not in the same league and one other recent winner of an International Competition had to pull his car over to the side of the road, he was so taken with Kissin.... yes, I know it seems like I forgot we are talking about Lang Lang.... Lang Lang can do everything Kissin can and maybe more...Are we to believe that these aforementioned individuals are musical idiots prone to such actions?!!

Folks! accept it, embrace it and thank God for it!... just as he did when simultaneously brought Chopin and Liszt to our world in the early 1800's (they were the same age except for a year) He has now given us another Double Blast of Pianistic Glory in Kissin and Lang Lang! Pity those who can't get beyond their envy, jealously, general jadedness with life... or whatever ails them... they need help, lots of help!

As for me and many like me (BTW, it doesnt count for much but I am a pianist myself)... we are so grateful and blessed to have these 2 young men and the miracle of DVD technology to bring their concerts right into our living room!

An outstanding performance and story of a child prodigy.......2006-06-14

Lang Lang has the charm of an ebullient child as he plays the piano. I have never seen a pianists enjoy himself with such gay abandon, a delight that lured me into a space of complete attention. I sat with a smile on my face thoughout most of the performance. However, his wonderful performance air was only second to his pianism. You will gasp in awe during Reminiscenses de Don Juan. Lang Lang conveys powerful energy though the piano without losing the delicate touches and grace. The skill is a contradiction that few virtuosos have. Bravo!

Most Impressive!.......2006-05-18

When I first heard Lang Lang on the Internet, I thought he only played fast. When I heard him again (this time live), I thought, wow! He really is amazing! Lang Lang was born in 1982 in Shenyang, China. He started piano at the age of three, and played in his first public recital at age 5. He studied piano with many teachers. I love piano, too. Although I am not going to be like him, I must say that he is one of a kind. When he plays, he doesn't just play. He feels it, too, and uses his body to show his different emotions. And he's only 23!

Trust the peanut gallery? Or trust experts. Your choice ..........2006-01-05

o Lang Lang. German Echo Klassic 2004 Award Winner. Best Pianist.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_Klassik

o About this Carnegie Hall recording? The one given some pretty bad reviews from the peanut gallery? Well, the recording won a 2005 Amadeus Austrian Music Award. And a DVD of this recital with documentary footage won the 2005 "Music DVD of the Year" Echo Klassik Award.

Music has always been interpretive and a vital mark of virtuosity is having your own voice - Lang has his own voice and he masterfully distinguishes himself with it. Lang is a refreshing draft of fresh air in a typically stagnant arena. Technically, the kid can flat out play. Period. Interpretively, he is bold, unafraid, and lets it all hang out.

Nuff said ...

Nice, Elegant Restatement of their repertoire..........2007-05-02

This is a very nice recording with one really impressive piect that finally has been recorded after hearing it performed in concert for quite a few years, that being "The Half Life of Absolution". That piece alone, for me, is worth the price of the CD. Expansive, edgy, ambient and improvisational. It features the group in a different mode considering that the recordings that immediately preceded it ("Letter From Home", "Still Life (Talking)" and "First Circle") Those recording were more based in world-beat music forms that were mostly latin-based while this, this was something spacey, ambient, edgy, plaintive, improvisational and vital.

The recording starts out with one of the essential Metheny/Mays pieces, "Have You Heard?". The solos and passages are faithful to the original but really no real surprises except for a slightly different feel due to the live environ.

"First Circle" is one of their masterpieces and an album highlight. Again done very true to form. Just beautiful and this one should be left alone because this piece is unique in it's scope, vision and beauty. Lyle takes his solo in excellent form.

"Last Train Home" was actually better than the studio version that was done in "Still Life (Talking)". That feel, that attracted you to this piece in the first place is much more urgent here. Aznar provides a subtle vocal embellishment and you feel the plaintive, wistfulness of the piece. Steve Rodby's bass is essential to this.

"Better Days Ahead" - This version is much better than in "Letter From Home". Paul Wertico's backbeat, Lyle's piano solo and Pat's guitar solos are more expressive and frankly better than in the original. I find myself skipping the original version in "Letter From Home" but listing to this one with much more interest

"Third Wind" - done very nicely with a bit of a different feel since Pedro is a different kind of vocalist than Ledford and Blamires. His tones rounder and so the vocal sections not quite with that edge when he hits that loooonnnnnggggggg note. The group interplay is excellent coming off the break. They really cook.

Very nice live recording.

EUROPIAN VACATION.......2006-11-08

Some years ago, I was working at my job in surgery when a friendly female nurse asked what that great jazz I was listening to. I told her it was Pat Metheny. She asked was there more like that. I replied--not thinking as I was busy--"Yeah, I think you would like about anything he does. Just give it a try." What I didn't remember was Pat had just put out the SONGS X album with Ornette Coleman and (wouldn't you know it) that was the album she bought. The two days later she threw the tape in my face and yelled "you can just have this c**p!". She never spoke to me again. It kinda upset me because she was every bit of alright.

Since that time, one has to pick Metheny's albums carefully. There seems to be drive, which one guesses is an occupational hazard among popular jazz musicians, to prove to your contemporaries that you indeed are "artistic" and a deadly serious creative type. After all, no one wants to be regarded as another Kenny G. What comes out is this earnest, edgy stuff appreciated by aficionados of "deep jazz"--otherwise known as "pure music". Whatever the effect these immersions have on peer respectability, they sell very few records. They also have the lethal effect of persuading the general public that jazz is not for them.

Fortunately, THE ROAD TO YOU has none of impulses to bow to the jazz elite. This is an excellent record full of the most loved pieces in the Metheny catalogue. The live performances and the mixing are about all you could ask for given the recording art of the time. THE ROAD TO YOU is also absent any traces of one of Metheny's favorite guitar-synth sounds I lovingly call "the raging elephant". There have been several great Metheny albums since this recording and he continues to draw an ever larger fan base. But you could do much worse than starting here. It any so bad for us long time fans either.

AweSome!.......2006-08-07

I agree with David........ BUY IT FOR THIRD-WIND. I've heard a couple of versions of that track but the one on this CD is AWESOME!

I've been listening to Pat for about 20 years now.....I'm 40 so thats half of my life....... I've seen him in several concerts and also had the pleasure of meeting him in NY at J&R Music World where I got his Autograph! I wish that I weren't nervous because I would have hugged him..... I did shake his though.

He's the only musician the I can say I LOVE. His music reaches my soul like no other.....period.

Five Stars does not do this art justice........2006-05-20

From where Metheny and his group members,
(of a common soul, I'd almost swear,
playing different tools from the same heart
with different fingers) take me and took
European audiences on this album,
I would have titled it "Levitation."

Music, well composed and performed, built
and played with care, love, creativity
and talent, takes me places that approach
ecstatic.

With this work on the audiograph I am
transported places VERY few other musicians
have ever taken me close to, in any genre.

I can only compare it to feeling lifted up
and floating, being held aloft--levitated--
by Pat's group, working together so tightly
while flowing, like liquid, over and through
the songs' melodies, arrangements, rhythms.

Listening, right now, to this CD's version of
the Metheny-Mays standard "First Circle."
Am in the clouds! Think it's just my opinion?
Listen to the crowd! Damn!
Those big, blocky Mays chords.

Buy the album. Put it in a car's player.
Turn it up!!! You will thank me.
You will thank those 6 guys.
You won't want to get where you're going.

Lee

Exhilarating!!!.......2006-05-09

I have little time or I could go on and on about this recording, but - "Third Wind" on this album is the best version of that tremendous, wild, track; "Letter from Home" is poignant, to the point that I've seen it bring people to tears; Fabulous version of "Last Train Home"; "Half Life of Absolution" may take some time to get into, but once there, one can feel the urgency of the track - tremendous. All in all, a terrific album and if you're on the fence about buying it, take the plunge for "Third Wind" alone. Note that the excerpt of this song from Amazon is at one of the weakest parts of the track (still a good part but not as strong as other parts) - they should add something from Metheny's rip-roaring guitar-synth solo towards the end of the track.

Walter Trout is not about tastefulness and subtlety--he is about ferocious intensity, exhilarating speed, and raw energy. This double-disc set (at single-disc price) presents Trout's complete, unedited performance from the March 2000 Tampa Bay Blues Fest (where they say he upstaged headliner Susan Tedeschi), and it is truly a thrilling ride. Running on adrenaline after a sleepless day and night traveling, Trout rolls through heavy blues rockers, slow 12-bars, soulful groovers, and even a Dylan cover. To be sure, this is pure blow-your-mind, "guitar god" kind of stuff that many blues purists may not enjoy. There are definitely times that Trout's incessant over-the-top style becomes slightly tedious, and there's not much in the way of originality, unless you count the fact that few others are even capable of such supersonic licks and unearthly tones. Still, despite the lack of a truly distinctive sound, Trout's ability to consistently fan the flames is amazing, and his voice, while not on a par with his guitar, is passionate and powerful. If you are a fan of pedal-to-the-metal electric blues-rock, few can match Trout in terms of sheer dexterity and drive. --Marc Greilsamer

PHENOMENAL.......2006-11-22

Walter Trout is an amazing, amazing guitar player and very soulful singer, and this two-cd set captures that perfectly. Trout's guitar technique blows everyone away-- with the possible exception of Gary Moore. (Have those two ever gone toe to toe onstage? A frightening prospect.) Over-the-top blues rock and gutsy vocals. The liner notes are an inspiring testament to Walter's Christian faith and dedication to his fans.

new discovery.......2006-08-15

I knew very little of Walter Trout before I bought this disc. The man is an amazing guitarist that reminded me of a cross between Roy Buchanon and Frank Marino. Gary Moore, Stevie Ray and Snowy White move over and make room for Walter Trout to stand proudly amoung you.

I finally picked up a W.Trout cd after years of reading about him. He is no doubt a talented guitarist. My problem is, (and I know most will say WHAT), I think he continually plays too fast. After awhile its like the solos all just blend together into one long blur. I really don't care for his vocals either. I think the best song on the album is Walking in the Rain. Great riffs and tone. To me there is only one heir to the throne of SR Vaughn and he is............Jimmy Thackery. Pick up Sinner Steet or Drive to Survive. Both are awesome....

Jump at chance to be at Walter Trout & the Radicals gig.......2004-07-26

If you are looking for a man and a band who can give you everything they've got; look no further. If you are searching for music that will sear into your soul; look no further. Walter Trout can play his guitar up there with the best of them. He can also DO things with a guitar that will leave you speechless. In his hands, the instrument can wail, talk, cry, moan, whisper or do anything he asks of it. His singing voice is powerful and comes from the depths of his heart. He truly presents his all to you in this live performance CD. His energy will be transferred to you and be engraved into your memory and you will be grateful you found your way to the performance venue of this remarkable musician and his band. The next best thing to being there is this 2 CD album.

Amazing LIVE recording! Mraz is a gifted wonder!.......2006-11-10

I've been a Mraz fan for quite some time, but when "Mr. A to Z" came out, I was disappointed becuase I didn't think the album showcased his true vocal and muscial talent - "Live at Java Joes" does and will not disappoint! This CD bring brings you back to the beginning of his career (before he hit it big with "Waiting for My Rocket to Come") and is beautifully laced with both haunting melodies, such as "Halfway Home", and teasing excerpts of what were destined to be Mraz signature classics. If you love live performances, I would also highly recommend his CD/DVD Combo "Tonight, Not Again, Jason Mraz Live at the Eagles Ballroom" and his live performance on "Austin City Limits" in October 2003. You'll be floored!

Best Example of What Jason Can Do.......2006-11-01

I became a fan of Jason's the very first time I heard his beautifully melodic voice. I went to see Jewel's This Way tour, at Constitution Hall, and he was the opening act. I have since had the pleasure of going to a coulple more of his concerts,(including at Constitution Hall again for his Curbside Prophet tour.) And I feel the only CD of his that truly showcases his raw, organic, and straight from the heart acoustic sound is this one. Somehow his songs can be both soothing and relaxing and at the same time so powerful and passionate you can't ignore their impact. I own his other CDs, but I must admit this is the only one I listen to.

If you are having a hard time locating this CD look for it in your local independent record store (i.e. Record and Tape Traders.) This is where I found my copy.

Amazing! .......2006-10-25

This CD is so good that I would listen to it constantly if I could. Jason's vocals are so pure and powerful. While I ADORE his studio efforts, he just shines during live performances, and this is no exception. There are also great tracks that would won't find on his studio CD's that are just amazing. Songs on Java Joe's are always concert favorites.

I love this CD and Jason so much that I can't properly describe it in words. He is so good that is frustrating that I can't see him in concert all the time!

Better than studio recordings.......2006-02-25

An excellent, excellent cd. Jason Mraz is a talented singer. This recording gives listeners a chance to hear his great voice in a small venue without the screaming 13 year olds. If you enjoyed Waiting for my Rocket to Come but thought Mr A-Z was a big let down, give Live at Java Joe's a try.

Mrazmerized!.......2006-02-15

I have been a Jason Mraz fan for a long time. I never get tired of listening to Live at the Eagles Ballroom or Mr. A-Z. Ever since I bought Live at Java Joe's, My IPod has barely been shut off for 5 minutes! His voice is so melodic and pure. I love that it is just Jason and Toca on this CD. Jason's voice isn't hiddden in the music of the guitars, etc. It's just Jason. If you are a fan, even if you aren't, you need to have this CD in your collection.

The best crystal bowl cd ever? Yeah right..........2007-02-17

That's what I said as I read the reviews here and clicked over to the author's website... so I reluctantly handed over my cash with little expectation, and well, I have to say... I agree!

Frankly, I was a little surprised, I love this kind of music and my last purchase of Stephen Halpern's Crystal Bowls was disappointing to say the least as it was filled with synthesizers and other cheesy New Age effects. This one is not and I wouldn't even lump it with a New Age tag (as the product description has). It' just truly beautiful music. The resonance is wonderful and the first chakra track is great for getting me, or my space back into alignment. Simply put it on in the background and clear your space. Wonderful! The other tracks on the CD have beautiful touches including shamanic instruments like the Buffalo drums, rattles, native flutes, rain sticks and other instruments. All appropriately added, expertly played and NO New Age cheese. What's interesting about it is that the CD recorded in one evening with no manipulations. I love reading books and listening to audio of people that have opened their heart - you can feel that in the work... in a similar way I think this is transmitted through music and it most definately is here.

I have since recommended and raved about this CD to all my friends. If you're a healer with a practice, you're going to want it for background music or just clearing your space. For everyone else, it's wonderful for relaxation and coming back into balance (put on your headphones for a real treat) or just some soothing music to play after a hard day or most definately for people who are not feeling well.

Other crystal bowl CDs I like include Benjamin Iobst Seven Metal Singing Bowls of Tibet and Crystal Voices by Deborah Van Dyke. Daniel Goleman's work is also fantastic - Chakra Dance, Chakra Chants and his Om CD (although all his work is good).

I highly recommend this beautiful CD. There are extra touches, with different instruments so if you're using it purely for meditation, that may distract you (as some other reviewers seem to have experienced). That is, I guess, a matter of personal preference - some people would be okay with the other instruments. It's the kind of CD where you that makes you go and buy everything the artist has ever produced. Of the hundreds of the healing type CDs I have, this is, and will remain, well and truly at the top of the heap. This might just be... the best crystal bowl CD ever!

Very good for meditation.......2007-01-11

I listened to this during my hospital stay on my iPod because I could not sleep. It helped me immensely.

Incredibly Healing and Soothing Sounds!.......2006-11-03

This CD, just like all Crystal Vibrations productions, is pure healing. I can always count on the first track (Chakra Alignment) to bring me back into balance and alignment. I also use this disc as a space clearing tool for my home... the high vibrations resonate throughout, leaving my space feeling warm and wonderful. A multi-purpose musical adventure... how can you resist?

Wow, Raising the Vibe!!.......2005-11-23

Pretty incredible music that makes everything I do while listening seem to happen effortlessly. It shifts and "tunes up" the energy in the room and in me! The Chakra alignment is like a warm up to the magic of all the other instruments that weave in and out of the singing bowls. So you can stay really focused and present or drift off into deeply meditative states. Listening to the soothing music on this CD is one of the best prescriptions you can give yourself! If you want to journey to the far reaches of the universe, treat your self to their CRYSTAL PORTAL CD and get Journey to Wholeness for taking care of everything else!!

Lighten Up, Chill Out and Recharge.......2005-10-17

This is my favorite of all the meditation and singing crystal bowl music I own and I have a huge collection. Initially, I used it for meditation in the morning before work and then again when I got home. It left me calm for the day and recharged at night. Then I thought to put it on while paying bills and doing stressful chores. The resonance of the crystal bowl tones had an immediate effect. I was able to focus and breathe with ease while I completed my tasks. The sound quality is superb and you get all the beautiful overtones that can only come on a live recording. And the effect is lasting. For a real vacation, listen to this CD with headphones.

Album Description

"BANGER* FOR BREAKFAST", is Wicked Tinker's fourth attempt at music recording. It's live and raw - like you'll usually find us at the Scottish Highland Games. "Banger" originally started out with 60 hours of music recorded live across the country. We whittled it down to a couple hours of our greatest hits. This first of two CDs, is a bunch of favorites snatched from our three previous releases, with ten new tunes thrown in to boot. All this in one tribal-thumping CD. You'll find your body moving against your consent.

*Bang•er: (bang´er) n. Chiefly Brit. 1. making bang. 2. A short little greasy British sausage. 3. A noisy old car.

No Rest For the Wicked!!!!!!!.......2007-04-10

This disk give the listener a great idea of what it's like to be at a Wicked Tinkers performance.

Considering the quality of the concert performances that the Tinkers do in their live shows and considering that this CD is a compilation of several live shows, you get more than your money's worth with this disk.

A great representation of the Wicked Tinker's music!

May the music gods continue to smile upon the Wicked Tinkers!

My kids are hooked on this band!.......2006-09-06

My family saw this band play live at the Pleasanton Highland Games, where they were incredibly energetic and fun to watch. Something like a bagpipe jazz combo. This CD does a good job of capturing some of that energy (though you should try to catch them in the flesh if they ever play in your neighborhood!). My kids are simply hooked on this music. They can't stop twirling and stomping to it, and my older one has declared that she wants to learn the bagpipes! Beware - this music needs to be played LOUD. You may scare the neighbors. Just fab.

live and raw.......2006-03-19

This is another great live CD, recorded in many sessions and locations, and brought together in a "best-of" format. Track 3 has an excellent drum feature, and track 5 (Danny Boy) is well done, as is the Amazing Grace Plus in track 15. One item to note is the brief explanation of the roots of the bagpipes in track 6, which leads into an unusual Middle Eastern special song in track 7. This CD, like their Whisky Supper album, contains several moments of conversations with the crowd and among the bandmates of Wicked Tinkers. This lends it a cozier listen than just a "dry" album, or a concert arena sound. With the combination of tracks available on other CDs, plus new ones makes this a great starter CD, especially for fans of Celtic music, bagpipes in particular. The addition of their "trademark" didgeridoo (explained in and featured on track 22) makes this a must-have, unusual collection of traditional songs with new takes, and uniquely varied material. You can't miss with this one!

Banger for Breakfast.......2006-03-18

I don't think there's another band like the Wicked Tinkers in existence. Super-high-energy, with a huge bagpipe/drums/sometimes didgeridoo sound, they reinfuse life into a subgenre of traditional folk music that sometimes lacks energy and innovation. It's impossible to sit still while listening to this. I saw a clip of the band at a Scottish Faire in Northern California on TV and was immediately hooked (well done of one of the band members to have a T-shirt on with the band's name, otherwise I would never have known who they were).

I've loved all of the Tinkers' albums and this one is no exception.

Awesome music!.......2006-03-01

I read an online review about this cd,and took a chance.Gosh I was in heaven today listening to this awesome group.
Much better than other groups who play this kind of music!

Git It While You Can!.......2006-04-02

I never got to see Beau Jocque live and I'm sad because I found his music a few weeks ago.
I really like Jocque's style of zydeco and plan to buy more from him even though it would be tough to beat this good sounding live recording. It has a free form flow to it that I love and a tad over one hour of happy jamming music.

If you like non traditional zydeco, you'll love this recording too.

Did ya git it?!?!.......2006-02-13

I picked up this CD in 96 after listening to a few seconds of just a few songs. It got me rockin instantly. A few months later on a trip to NOLA I just happened to pick up a paper to see where to go and there was Beau Jocque playing at the Rock and Bowl(I think thats what it was called). They rocked that place so hard the floor was buckling! This CD is the next best thing to seeing him live(if you were lucky enough). Any guy who can make a rocker out of raffle ticket numbers and licence plate numbers is number 1 in my book.

So good it sizzles........2005-10-20

"Git It, Beau Jocque" is almost indescribably good music. It isn't that polite, lightweight zydeco you see in some movies and hear on some CDs. This is gut bustin high energy zydeco with an electric bass line that never quits - powerful and compelling all at once. Bass and accordion driven music of such intensity and life you wonder how they could POSSIBLY survive a whole set. I have several other B.J. CDs that are very good, probably 4-stars, but "Git It..." is something special. This is an incredible document of an amazing music performance - a treasure.

BeauJocqueReview99.......2003-04-27

Beau Jocque and the Hi-Rollers were my favorite Zydecko band.
I have every CD they made, I think. This is one of the best.

Make plenty of room to boogie with this one!!!.......2001-11-09

This is the first zydeco CD I ever purchased after seeing Beau Jocque and his band perform on Jay Leno. I was not disappointed in the least. It's high energy, his band is one of the most tightly woven groups I've ever heard, particularly his bass player, who plays some of the stankest, fonkiest bass ever. This CD will make you dance like an idiot, non-stop. It even got me through the graveyard shift doing data entry at a bank. Just put it on repeat and get ready to boogie. Even if you don't dance, you'll tap your feet, snap your fingers, bob your head, find something to shake or scratch. I must admit I rode around with a tambourine in my car, shakin' it like a fool while sitting in traffic. Go get this one. You'll love it.
