As you can see, his last three studio albums – Soul Fixin’ Man aka Bad Love, Blue Streak and the not yet released Reckless are well represented.
Do yourself a favour and hear these music samples.Unfortunately, the digital album is split into volumes 1 and 2 (each CD) and what looks like an attractive price turns out to be more expensive when you buy the mp3s from Amazon, as I found out.
The Amazon reviewers have got it right. This is a terrific album and it’s refreshing to see that there’s no duplication of songs between the two concerts.
Great guitar playing, passionate singing and a good performance from the rest of his band.
