5.0 out of 5 stars Excelsior!, July 18, 2002

By 

Victor Lizcano (Somewhere in Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ball-Hog Or Tugboat (Audio CD)

Well, I bought this Cd mainly because Eddie Vedder participates in two tracks, I saw a presentation in TV, an ad in a magazine and got interested enough to buy it. Well, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made (specially since it's a hard to get Cd here in Mexico) Well, Bass player Mike Watt, joins with a few friends from diferent bands, what seems reflected in the tracks, imagine a musical blender where you can just put the musical influences from different musicians (Watt & Friends), the result? a CD full of musical tracks so entertaining to listen to. You won't be disapointed by this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars All over the map., July 12, 1999

By 

Anthony Souza - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ball-Hog Or Tugboat (Audio CD)

Mike Watt is a great bassist, very underrated. This outing is all over the musical map and while that's admirable, it makes for a very inconsistant CD. To me, this set doesn't have any focus due to the fact that there are so many guest muscians (great though they may be). However, there are quite a few good songs on here, notably "Big Train", "Against the '70s", E-Ticket Ride" and the Funkadelic cover "Maggot Brain" among others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hit and miss, May 28, 1998

This review is from: Ball-Hog Or Tugboat (Audio CD)

Nobody plays bass like Watt. But some tracks are hard to listen to (they show off Watt's duet partner, not him). Still, it's worth having for the few gems, especially Watt's tongue-in-cheek duet w/ Mr. Vedder, and the Henry Rollins track.
