Title: summer double oh soul jonah and the whailers
Review: I snagged this recording because the cover reminded me of Monk's Underground and even more importantly, because it was produced by the master Lee Townsend. I listened once and knew I had found what i am always in search of: an outstanding release that is not well known. Sure, I heard echoes of Big Pink-Jonah wears his influences right on his album sleeve(actually cover)-but this album transcends any derivativeness. I've been listening to it for several months and it hasn't lost any of its freshness. Five stars for a new star perhaps. Can't wait to see these guys in a club setting. I recommend this for fans of Bill Frisell, the Band, The Allmans, and...i forget what eight was for...the Femmes.
Is the review positive or negative?
