5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, June 29, 2000

This review is from: Live at Grand Emporium (Audio CD)

Anson and Sam are fantastic together. They bring the absolutely best of the old time blues to the live stage where the kids can literally get up and boogie woogie. I have seen them 6-8 times in different places and the band is very tight each time. They should NOT BE MISSED! Sam is a true treasure and entertainer and there aren't many left like him. Anson plays the guitar(s) with such feeling and soul that it just brings tears to your eyes hearing him play the real soft stuff. And when he wants to let it rip in an upbeat number, look out, cause he is unmatched!

Go See em!

Live blues albums don't get any better than this. Anson is one of the most tasteful guitar players out there and Sam Meyers is in fine form. A great representation of their live shows. This is a MUST BUY for blues fans.

This one contains one of the most striking versions of Freddie Kings "Sidetracked" to be found anywhere. Anson smokes throughout the solo with a guitar tone set to perfection. His tone is slightly sweeter than his rivals like Ronnie Earl and perhaps because of the hollow body guitar.
The energy and excitement is kept at a high level during the course of the whole CD and Funderburgh shows what an impressive rhythm guitarist he is on the tracks where he backs Sam Myers.
Anson covers all his favourite styles on this c.d from Elmore James and J.B. Hutto ( "Everything's gonna be alright") to Magic Sam/Otis Rush ("Tell me what i want to hear") Texas shuffles all round after the first three tracks and Anson finishes dynamically with a tribute to Albert Collins with the tune "Backstroke".
Well worth the money!
