Biography

From their days playing together as teenagers to their current acoustic and electric blues, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, the founders and continuing core members of the iconic blues-roots band Hot Tuna.

Now members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the pair began playing together while growing up in the Washington… Read more in Amazon's Hot Tuna Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Tuna's best album, November 28, 2001

John Vuocolo (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First Pull Up Then Pull Down (Audio CD)

I remember the first time I heard this on vinyl in 1971 or 72 it just blew me away. I have other Hot Tuna albums and Jorma albums but this is the best. This is my all time favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD that accurately represents what HOT TUNA did live., August 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: First Pull Up Then Pull Down (Audio CD)

Excellent piece of history. Hot Tuna is still around in some form but they haven't sounded like this in a long time. Papa John Creach screaching and Will Scarlet wailing. The question is, what took so long to get this on CD and more importantly, where's the rest of the show?? Hot Tuna never played for less than 3 hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sampling of 70's Hot Tuna, June 8, 1999

pmurray@iop.com (The Heartland of New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First Pull Up Then Pull Down (Audio CD)

Diverse compilation of studio & live favorites from the Acadamy of Music days of the mid 70's. Hot Tuna, one of the best jammin' rock & roll bands in the universe, is captured live in true form. Great for first time listeners, and favorite of hard core TUNA aficionados! Also, contains the best version of "Come Back Baby" ever recorded!

I Love these guys. I saw this band down The Jersey Shore like 5 yrs ago. These old albums are so awesome and I listen to them often. They don't make music like this anymore.

3.0 out of 5 stars not their best...
As a fan of all of Hot Tuna's recordings of the 1970's, this one shines the least brightly for me. Gotta love Margaretha's cover art, though! Read more
