A gig recorded by George in 2001, with Eddie Diehl, MarvIn Horne (MARVIN HORNE!!!!), Ben Dixon (BEN FUCKING DIXON!!!!!).

I'm supposed to be saving for African music, but really!!!!

And Andy Bleaden sent in a review and didn't even tell us about the issue of this album!!!!! Andy - go to the top of the class and jump off!!! :D

I posted this on the original post, but will put it here as well

Hey everyone, I guess I didn't see this thread when it first came up! And yes those are my liner notes I wrote for George Braith. This CD is something George put together from some recordings he made with John right before he passed away. A few of the songs were just some duo things of he and John upstairs at John's house. George added drums and guitar afterwards to those, one of which has Ben Dixon on it. There was no guitar player on the live gig here in Austin, and George had Eddie Deihl overdub some rhythm on Funky Mama. The live gig was kind of a wreck since the drummer wasn't really making it for the most part and a friend from the crowd had to get up and finish the night. These things were recorded on a home multitrack cassette recorder, and the sound is in accordance with that so be aware. I think George even had to overdub some of his tenor since it was so low in the mix on the original recording. Also, George overdubbed some synth keyboards and vocals on the duo things. All that said, there are some moments caught and it was I believe John's second to last gig. His last being the gig at Smoke where he basically passed away. I still love pulling out this recording for all it's flaws since it brings back so many memories for me.
