Are you looking for a great Live R&B/Rock album! Well buddy, you just started walking my way...
This album will hit you right between the eyes with emotion, after emotion. Not to be undone Michael McDonald is at the top of his game in this album. I can not say enough about, the man and his music.
So do ya think ya got the score now?
Great!
Later...

While Donald Fagen dates this CD by mentioning the wrap-up of Gulf War I, the music holds up, giving this gem a charm all its own. The selection of guest musicians is first rate, with Phoebe Snow and Michael McDonald giving it all they have on their rendition of " Knock on Wood", while Fagen himself provides a less electronic, more standard jazz version of " Greenflower Street", a number off his first solo album. Boz Scaggs delivers with " Drowning in the Sea of Love", conveying just the right amount of poetic desperation ensconced in lovely musical arrangement. This was released when I was already a devoted Steely Dan/Donald Fagen fan, and open to the interpretations of oldies by acts that had already stood the test of time. It's hard to believe that this CD is sweet sixteen, but the beauty is the timeless sound.

I listened to this CD because a friend at work insisted on loaning it. Donald Fagen did his usual wonderful job of being Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs did his usual great job of being Boz, and Charles Brown didn't have to be anyone but himself anyway. The band is as tight as The JBs. *However*...
Screaming Phoebe does nothing else but that, and her attempt at Etta James is just pitiful. Michael McDonald likewise. I would rather he sit quietly and listen to what Solomon Burke and Jackie Wilson are doing, or just leave it alone. I am willing to give Johnny Otis credit as the original Blue-Eyed Soulman, but the Old Rascals - not.
Look, peeps. Belushi and Ackroyd were kidding!
