Title: A Curious Collector's Choice
Review: I have to admit that when I saw this a while back, I snatched it up, as a devout fan of Lou Ann And Stevie both. At the the same time, I have to agree that the sound quality seems the main fault with the release. There are a couple of tracks that sound better than others (see "Young and Dumb"). Most of the tracks, however, sound like they were recorded in a small club or studio w/ substandard equipment. They tend to sound a little muffled, at times marked by static (like an old, worn-out LP). I'd have to say, it's main value is to diehard fans of either artist. The track selection, arrangements, production, and singing & playing all point to its being an authentic recording of them back in 1977(!). Again, however, the main value would likely be to collectors or diehard fans. I won't be parting with it, but I was a little disappointed upon hearing it.
Is the review positive or negative?
