but not great either. A couple of excellent songs mixed in with a lot of average ones. Boogie Man is a standout. Don't get me wrong, this is a good album, just not great. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.

Ya gotta love this guy. We caught him for the first time here in Dallas (actually Arlington), last October when he played at the annual SRV Memorial Ride (being as SRV was from Dallas, it's a BIG Deal here eh).

He and the Howlers blew us away.

And this CD sounds exactly how they do on stage in front of several hundred, well on their way to being drunk/rowdy, bikers. I'd heard of O&TH but never seen/heard them myself. WOW...we will definitely be looking for them again.

What's nice about this CD is that it's a really solid sample of their style and technically, the CD is really well mastered. Difficult to believe it's a "live" recording at times...a couple of the songs were a tad muddy and I chalk that up to (again) being live but overall, top notch and I still give it a 5 on content and recording. Omar's GREAT and if you're a fan of this genre, then you owe it to yourself to check them out.

I enjoy a lot of Omar's music but not all. This was a good sampler of some of his better work and gives a good feel for the band and it's style. I like all but one cut, and any time you can do that on an album you're doing well. It's well done and a is well engineered to make a good, clean recording. I wish all live live albums were done this well. If you like Omar and the Howlers, this will be a great addition to your collection.
