A MUST HAVE COLLECTION FOR ANY SIR DOUGLAS FAN, March 21, 2001
This review is from: She's About a Mover: Best of Crazy Cajun Recording (Audio CD)
It seems you have to buy at least 2 or 3 greatest hits collections of Sir Douglas to get everything you want. Their Greatest Hits 1968-75 was good, but it still omits some essential Sir Douglas songs, including "SHE'S ABOUT A MOVER". But on these Crazy Cajun recordings, just about every song on this cd was left off their other Greatest Hits album. With this you get that big hit "She's About A Mover", "T-Bone Shuffle", which was a staple of all their live shows. Other favorites on here are the always fun "Just a Teeny Bit Of Your Love", "Revolutionary Ways", and my personal favorite, the 8 minute "Funky Side Of Your Mind". This is a fantastic version of this song that's guaranteed to get your toes tapping. The music on here was taken from the many Crazy Cajun sessions Sir Douglas did between 1965-77. There are a couple early songs here that are not quite the sound quality of their later music, but their still not bad. The only song I wish they had included here was "Mendicino". But like I said, you can't get every Sir Douglas song you like on just one cd. But for me, I like this album every bit as much as their other Best Of compilation. I recommend getting them both, because you can never have too much of a good thing like Sir Douglas.
