5.0 out of 5 stars Fine acoustic music, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Quah (Audio CD)

This is one of those albums which stay with you over the years. I've been listening to this work now for some 24 years and it's still as fresh, new, and satisfying as the day when it was first released. It features some of Jorma Kaukonen's finest, most thoughtful and exquisitely executed guitar work, poetic lyrics and memorable, haunting melodies melded together in a number of fine original songs, and a number of covers that are just as good as they can get. Also added are the vocal talents of bassist Tom Hobson on two of the songs on the B-side. Devotees of wooden music, San Fransisco music, all music, will find this album a delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars An album that's never outadated, May 7, 2002

Michele (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quah (Audio CD)

This is an album that I had on vinyl many years ago. I thought of it one day after seeing a Hot Tuna CD in a local record store, so decided to pull it out of the archives to see how it sounded after all these years. Aside from the snap, crackle, pop of old vinyl and a worn stylus, I found I loved the album as much as I ever did, if not more. The hunt began. I found it at a small, obscure shop, in the town I live in. I listen to it several times a week. Now I'm hungry for more. There'll never be another Quah, but Jorma's fine acoustic blues picking and warm, earthy voice shine through in all of his work. I am looking foreaward to the release of his new CD, and am glad to know that he's still around, sharing his talent with all of us.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, better than ever in digital, February 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Quah (Audio CD)

This is an album of delightfully spare acoustic guitar pieces with strong folk and R&B influences. It is worth the price for the guitar work alone. Although the few songs sung by Tom Hobson are an acquired taste, there is pleasure in every track. There is even a few Hot Tuna tunes thrown in for good measure.
