5.0 out of 5 stars You haven't got Blues collection until you got a Bromberg., October 18, 1999

Like many Bromberg fans of the 70's I have been waiting for these albums to come out on CD. David Bromberg, who has played backup on a coupla dozen albums is one of the genuises of the string instrumnet. His clear picking of Guitar, bass, banjo or ukelele is up there with any master player and his work often surpasses those same masters in unexpected ways. These have to heard to be appreciated. His albums are a great mixture of blues, rock, and bluegrass with a voice that can switch from sad to angry to funny as fast as he can switch chords. But David is at his best live. Where he can even make you tap and stomp and dance to the bluesiest of ballads. "Sharon" and "Keys to the Highway" are just a coupla examples. This is an album to work to or enjoy in a long trip when you need to belt out a tune with some heart. Enjoy this album I swear you won't be disappointed.

I had been waiting for the all acoustic "My own house" to come out on CD for years. What a bonus to get David's live album attached to it. This takes me back to the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver in the late 70's. This man can play-Everything he touches- with such passion and mastery it is a shame that he no longer tours. Highlights include "Don't let your Deal go down", and "Yankee's Revenge" for some great picking, the touching instrumental "Sheebeg and Sheemore", along with "Spanish Johnny" perhaps the best song on the album, and a great Live rendition of "As years go passing by". Thanks David for putting on one of the best shows I had the privilege to be a part of over the past thirty years. This CD is a great way to remember those days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Bromberg, October 7, 2000

I saw David Bromberg in concert many times in the 70's at Devon PA. He had a great mix of blues and rock that I enjoyed immensely. This CD is wonderful and I've been playing it over and over since I bought it. It's truly vintage Bromberg and I feel like I'm sitting there in the concert in the round at Devon again when it plays. "Sharon" is my favorite. Terrific CD. You won't be disappointed.
