I always think of 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter' as that

Interesting .... "Reckless Daughter" seems a Jaco Pastorius show to me, whereas on "Heijira" the variety of bassists used is astounding ....

Joe Ely "Down On The Drag" (MCA Records)                                                             1979 ....

This is a good one!  I find things I love on every Ely record.  Both his solo work and with The Flatlanders.  

I've meet and hung out with Joe a number of times when I lived in Texas.  He's a great guy, and easy to talk to.  I suspect his touring has slowed down substantially, sadly, as he's gotten older.

Here's a song he released last year that isn't on an album yet.

I never did pick that one up. I guess I figured that the band picked the best of the tracks for the original release and didn't think the alternate takes would be very different. Was I wrong?

Honestly, I haven't listened to all the disks that much. There are some tracks with a sax player that don't work well. But like any group of live tracks, some are better than others. Let's just say the original album wasn't wrong.

But I like the idea of hearing complete shows, as opposed to a 'best of' from multiple shows. The most successful so far is Jimi Hendrix, "Songs For Groovy Children" (The Fillmore East Concerts). A real tour de force!

Rudolph Carter .... prior to that with the Percy Sledge Band ...
