Title: Poor Effort From Red
Review: This live recording doesn't come close to the greatness that can be found on Red's "Midnight Rambler" disc, but songs such as "When My Mama Was Livin'" and "Ethel Mae" are intriguing. Unfortunately, the opening track on this album is Red at his worst. As is always the case with Red, the slower songs which feature creative, personal lyrics are his best, whereas the up-tempo songs fail. When I saw him perform earlier this year, it became clear that he is well past his prime and should hang it up.
