5.0 out of 5 stars Bob Log makes me poop my pants, June 27, 2000

This review is from: School Bus (Audio CD)

Right from the starting gate, Bob Log assaults my ears with a kind of speed blues that makes my head explode every time. This CD is incredible. One of the other reviews for this CD faulted Bob Log for a lack of blues-appropriate genealogy, which in some ways is similar to the "cast-like oppression" to which he also refers, at least so far as a presumption of merit or fault. (Perhaps Log and Fat Possum were actually satirizing the tendency of people to require such pedigrees from blues men when they made up Log's life story) But none of that matters, really. The important thing to remember is that Bob Log will grab you by the spine and slide through the songs and you will wonder what hit you. I saw this guy live and he managed to stop in the middle of a song, tune his guitar, and start back up, and somehow it all seemed right. God bless the suspicious heritage of Bob Log III.

5.0 out of 5 stars BOB LOG III!, February 22, 2002

By A Customer

Bob log is the man! I saw him preform in Las Vegas, and I suggest, if you have the CD or not, see this man play. The man pulls off guitar, drums, and vocals alone, with the assistance of his helmet-microphone, a drum machine, and two bass drum pedels (one hitting a bass drum and one hitting a cymbal). SEE THIS MAN!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totaly Wierd But Totally Cool., September 4, 2004

This has to be one of the weirdest Albums in my collection. But once you play it you're instantly hooked. When I first heard the song clock, I instanty got my guitar out and tried to figure out just what the Hell was going on in the song. Anyway The First track "String Around a Stick" is probably my favorite, It features increadibly fast slide playing, backed by a pounding bass drum beat and a drum machine. The song "Cold Motor" is probably the least Chaotic. It features interesting slide and rythem parts, and is played on what sounds like an acoustic Resonator guitar. All and all this is an essential album if you play slide guitar. Probably the only complaint I have is that "Fire in the Hole" cuts off so abruptly", But is a good enough song that the ending doesn't matter. Oh and If You are struggleing to figure out Bob Log's tunings They are (From low to high, A, A, D, G, B, E)
