2nd Album
Personnel : Roughly the same people played on these albums (actually both were recorded together, with a third one which hopefully will be released mid 1999). I had taken the 2nd album booklet with me to the Paris show, hoping maybe Bill would sign it for me ;-), and I can't find it since (and he didn't sign it...). Whenever I get it, or if anybody sends me the info, I'll post here the complete personnel list. Maybe I should just mention that Mick Taylor plays a small
(but good) slide guitar part on "A True Romance"... |
| The Setlist : Anyway The Wind Blows Spooky Walking One & Only Mojo Boogie Too Late Every Sixty Seconds Ring My Bell Days Like This He's A Real Gone Guy A True Romance Gee Baby Ain't It Good To You When Hollywood Goes Black & Tan Crazy He Calls Me Struttin' Our Stuff |
More on these when I get time (soon, hopefully).
All I can say now is that I bought both, and they're worth every penny, or in my case every centime, though these were some of the most expensive CDs I bought this year... Bill, any reason for this ?
