srv solos, sessions and encores
what a nice surprize . sooooooo great to hear stevie again ! i hadn't heard this one before.


Essential for collectors...
However, my gripes are in the mixing, most noteably "Texas Flood" and "Sky Is Crying. This set is essential if you want to have a (almost) complete collection of SRV. "

In "Texas Flood" Bonnie Raitt's guitar overpowers the mix and should have been remixed completely. With "Sky Is Crying" it is extremely apparent that this version was cut from a much longer one and you can here it 3:07. Even if this song were 20 minutes long I would have preferred a full version over the inclusion of "Oreo Cookie Blues" or "Pipeline. "

I dig this disc for the inclusion of a handful of Stevie's guest appearances (for more you'll have to Google his discography to see other artist's whose music he had guested on). But the mixes could have been better.


More SRV
B King, and brother Jimmy to name a few. Another great CD with various cuts with other musicians including Albert and B. Classic songs and a must for a SRV collection.


Great Expectations ?
The album title and description say it all. I don't understand all the negative reviews. The sound is good, the performances are good. Six of the songs are previously unreleased, half of the others I had never heard before. I compare this to the Duane Allman anthologies, you hear him as a backing musician on some tunes. Hearing Albert Collins and Bonnie Rait on songs with Stevie sure sounds good to me. Buy it and enjoy.


Oh No! Not the recording companies!
Wait. Oh My God! I just read the other reviews for this CD, and found out that the RECORDING COMPANIES ISSUED IT ONLY TO MAKE MONEY!!! Not the recording companies! I guess I better go buy a different CD. . . what if the recording companies are just making money off of that too??!! NOOOOO!

By the way, this CD kicks butt, if that actually counts for anything.
