Missing tracks However, on the copy I received through a second-party Amazon seller, tracks six through eight in the liner notes have been taped out, leaving a total of only 10 tracks. The thirteen tracks listed in Amazon's entry for "I Like It When It Rains" matches what was originally printed on the back liner notes for the recording. The tracks listed on the disc itself confirm this total: 1. Ridin With Ronnie 2. Linda 3. Midnite Clothes 4. Mutcika 5. I Like It When It Rains 6. Walkin and Cryin 7. Down on Guadalupe 8. Anna Lee 9. Sittin on Top of the World 10. Blues for Jimmie and Jessie. the earl of blues he carries the title of guitar virtuoso, and deservedly so. i didn't think this ronnie was as good as some of the black top stuff - deep blues, soul searchin', peace of mind - it is still ronnie earl. any ronnie earl disc is worth owning, this one included. Not quite the masterpiece that blues master claims Comparing Ronnie Earl to T- Bone Walker is like comparing prime rib to matzah. While I will agree with Blues Master on one or two points, I feel that his exuberance is largely unjustified. It has been said that Ronnie Earl never used to tune his guitar before live performances, and that can certainly be observed on this recording. There are two "e"s on a guitar, but only one "e" in team. Comprende?. blues master has a guitar player mastered the intense soulfulness of Ronnie Earl. Not since Robert Lockwood jr. Ronnie's earlier recordings on the Black Top label pale in comparision to this record. The single string guitar riffs are smooth, and crisp in the vain of T-Bone Walker, while the Broadcasters make you feel as if your standing in a Chicago juke joint. The song selection is a perfect mix of instumental, and throaty tin pan alley numbers. A must have!. You can see a complete list of all Ronnie Earl discography, or go back to the Ronnie Earl tabs
