Mose is Great~This is a correct testament to that Greatness!
I have never missed a live performance that was possible to attend. I started watching Mose in the 70's at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. This is a true and honest reproduction of one of Mose's great performances! Don't be sorry you missed it!.


Amazin' Mose
If you are a fan of Mose Allison these 2 cds should be part of your collection. This is the 2nd Vol of a 2 volume set of "must have Mose". Due to technology limitations there aren't a great deal of Mose's performance available on cd - this captures Mose lively and loose.


Does justice to his live shows!
I'll keep it short and sweet. . if you dig Mose Allison, you already have musical taste far superior to most humans. This volume is just as good as Volume 1, the sound is incredible, his voice is timeless, the song selection almost identical to the Mose shows I saw in '99, '00, and '01. Do not be fooled by the lousy samples provided by Amazon. com (they all seem to start at the guitar solo). This album will not disappoint you!.


Better than Volume One - but still not five stars.
Blue Note use the same basic sleeve cover (different colours and a different outside sleeve photograph - but essentially the same sleeve notes by Ben Sidran) but don't point out, other than including his name, that guitarist Jim Mullen augmented the basic trio for these tracks. Some nine months after Volume One became available comes Volume Two. The presence of Mullen overcomes the criticism that I had of the first volume that many of the track selections sounded "samey". There are longer and fewer tracks than on its predecessor. At times, perhaps, it can be argued that the guitarist makes too much use of what sounds like a phaser. There are interesting versions of some old favourites, "Your mind's on vacation" gets a makeover and there is a good version of "Do nothing 'til you hear from me". "City home" is another track that benefits from a reappraissal. Of the non-Allison songs Duke Ellington's "Lucky so and so" works well. I still think that editors Ben Sidran and Dan Geocaris could have included a lot more of the banter that makes Allison "live" such an exciting prospect, there were entertaining episodes that would have worked well if they'd been included. A better album than Volume One, but still not as engaging as one might have hoped from an artist well honed in the art of total entertainment.
