Ok, a confession - I'm writing this before the CD is actually released, so i can't discuss the sound qualities of this particular release. I've been making tapes and burning CDs from my vinyl Buzzy for years (yeah, i PAID for ALL of it!), and all these years later, I never fail to get a big huge smile across my whole face when I hear him. Somebody else can talk tech, Buzzy is the BEST and he's finally on CD! Great songwriter, killer performer, great guitarist, and a master of - of all things - VIBES! The perfect mix of rock, folk, jazz, hell Buzzy even threw in a sitar or two. Biased? Yeh, I am. Back in the 70's, Buzzy's record label gave me free tickets to see Buzzy at NYC's Bitter End - he BLEW me away! Saw Buzzy a few DOZEN times after that. Even spent my college radio station's annual promo budget to bring ONE Buzzy Linhart concert live to our school back in '73. NObody minded. EVERYbody had a great time. The guy just always made us smile. Sure, if I were putting this together, there'd be a song change here and there. "Friends" had to be here - I still get bumps hearing Bette Middler use her version as her TV show theme - bless her for keeping Buzzy in the public eye. We miss him a lot, wish he'd come out of "hiding" more often....but this CD is a killer bunch of songs by my absolute favorite "rock" performer (and I use "rock" very loosely in Buzzy's case. MUSIC - before we had TOO many labels and radio formats. Just DAMN good MUSIC. Just BUY this CD, play it good and loud.... and play it for some FRIENDS too... Favorites include Talk About A Morning, Friends,Time To Live Is Now (make this your mantra!), Cheat-Cheat-Lied / Hit The Road Jack (best rock vibes solo ever!), Tell Me True (gorgeous)... this is all from his Buddah (Kama Sutra?) days, nothing from his Atlantic Pussycats Can Go Far. But I've waited this long - I'll just listen to this until Volume 2, and 3 come out....

5.0 out of 5 stars BMG UNLEASHES A MUSICAL GIANT.....BUZZY LINHART, August 28, 2001

When I first met Buzzy Linhart, he was hanging up posters for his upcomming Wavy Gravy gig in Berkeley California. I knew this guy was cool, so I went up and asked him : "Are you Ken Kesey?"He tells me: "I'm Buzzy Linhart, put out a couple of albums in the 60's and 70's, recorded with Hendrix," ...Buzzy then of course invited me to his gig, which was ferociously beautiful, sharp witted, cool jazzy acoustic funk with the REAL roots of Folk-Rock slammed in..This is one of the most powerful voices in the history of modern music...Buy this CD and get ready to live life with a great BUZZ

For years I was wondering when someone was gonna put something on CD of Buzzy's. Hurrah to Razor and Tie, any label that releases Arthur Alexanders last recording and now comes out with a Buzzy Anthology deserves a Grammy just for having great ears. This is a great collection from one of the true Giants of the 60's and 70's. If Buzzy makes an appearance in your town , catch him you wont be dissapointed. Hey Razor and Tie, do you think you could find any of Buzzys recordings with his legendary band the 7th Sons ?. I know ESP put out the Raga recording some years ago, any chance of unearthing any other material ? (if you unearth the Son's backing Fred Neal, you deserve to be Knighted-or something like that). Buy this-you'll luv it !!!!!.
