5.0 out of 5 stars A classic from an underrated bluesman, November 3, 2009

This review is from: Flyin High (Audio CD)

Johnny did get some notice, especially later in his life and career, but he deserved more. This is a terrific recording, but, as often is the case, it can't come close to a live performance -- the man was one of the best, no-BS, straight-ahead bluesmen on the planet. Buy this disc, and then lament that you never got to see him perform - unless you DID.

5.0 out of 5 stars I agree with the editoral review, March 10, 2006

The editoral review pretty much sums things up.

I just want to add that the couple of instrumentals are brilliant.

Johnny Copeland is in the Albert Collins and Luther Allison school in it is less "cityfied" with a rougher edge sound.

The only concerns are the cd is only 41 minutes long, where even the out takes or disgarded tracks would have probably been quality stuff.

While Dr. John plays on it, don't expect the typical version of jambalya (on the bayo), it is a bit alternative
