Title: Jetpack Blues
Review: I must admit that I bought this album the first day it came out and was a little disappointed. I thought the first half was strong but the second half was weak. It disappeared into my CD collection only to resurface recently and boy could I have been more wrong. Upon second listen the first half is even better than I remembered it and the second half is just as good as the first half. "Jetpack Blues" has been a favorite live number of mine for a long time and comes across very true to form on the record. Other highlights include the track that was originally supposed to be the title track "Is This It" and the introspective masterpiece "Obsolete". I've found that sometimes the CD's you have to work hardest at are the one's you end up enjoying the most and that is certainly the case for me and "Jetpack Blues". All in all a fine effort by Ackerson and company and while anything that Polara has released should be in your collection, make a special effort to pick up this one.
