4.0 out of 5 stars Not their Best, But Demanded by Fans, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Last Polka (Audio CD)

This album belongs on the bootleg rack. Had I paid $28 for an unauthorized recording, I would have felt like I got a great deal. However, this CD does not represent the thought and energy put into the previous two albums, and comes across more like a management compilation than one from the band.

The songs, individually, are great, but a few issues with the album include: (1) No Live Version of Mambo Jambo (2) No continuity from one song to the next (3) They did not pick their best show for the live material (Peghead Release Party at Moscow Social Club was their best performance that I attended)

Ever since Black Happy broke up the Seattle music scene became so boring. This was the best band to see live EVER! The energy and sound was and still is UNTOUCHABLE!

Like many fans out there, I never heard of Black Happy until I saw them in concert (in Coeur d'Alene back in '95). They definitely found a successful nitch in rock by using a horn section in their works. The integration was unique and sounded awesome together. They were on the fast-track to success before they broke up. I was very dissapointed when the announcement filtered out. In my opinion, Peghead was their best collaboration and Freindly Dog Salad was a close second. I am constantly amazed some other up and coming band doesn't try to copy the style that Black Happy started.
