Terrific album, favorites are Webb's "Wichita Lineman" and Cohen's "Suzanne", love Steve Gadd's drumming and Andrea Zonn's incredible fiddle contributions. If you haven't got it yet, get it !

Agreed! I also like his version of Road Runner, It's Growing, and Sadie

Copeland - duly noted at the time

Webb is a personal favorite, haven't any of his discs since vinyl departed mid 80's. I am probably weird but always loved Richard Harris album "A Tramp Shining", mostly Webb tunes and the perfect MacArthur Park. Borrowed Ten Easy Pieces from the library a few months back and enjoyed it.

Thanks Ewen

Used to have a lot of Webb's albums but over the years I stopped lsitening to them, so got rid of them. It is the only one left.

Recorded in the Unitarian Church in Budapest April 1991

The sleevenotes explain that Mozart wrote these sonatas in early 1775.
Incredable to think he was still a teenager then!
These are the first surviving piano sonatas written by Mozart.
...and excellent imho : )

A little disappointed with this - I think the Previn ecording is better.

Hey KK,

Got it from Amazon - it's actually a repackaged collection which was previously called 'The Best of Lightning Hopkins' (along with about 30 other CDs with that name!) It focuses on his Prestige recordings from 1960-64, which is my preferred period of his (mostly due to the top notch sound quality of these recordings).The CD was very reasonably priced and came with a free Prestige Blues/Jazz sampler as part of the package for added value! Track listings are as follows;

Disc: 1
1. Back to New Orleans
2. Automobile Blues
3. Pneumonia Blues
4. Mojo Hand
5. Black Cadillac
6. You Is One Black Rat
7. Last Night Blues
8. Blues in the Bottle
9. Walkin' This Road by Myself
10. Got to Move Your Baby
11. Goin' Away
12. Happy Blues for John Glenn
13. Mean Old Frisco
14. Katie Mae
15. I'm a Crawling Black Snake
16. Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Some tracks are re-recordings of earlier pieces from previous lables which he remade for Prestige. All in all an excellent value disc - if you are a big fan you may already have these tracks covered on other releases but I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in quality blues/folk and who hasn't yet discovered the wonderful talent that was Lightnin' Hopkins!
