REVIEW

“`Live’ is the original LP (Arhoolie 1086) plus six more cuts from the same occasion (which have appeared on Tomato and Charly double albums). These were recorded around the same time as the Bogalusa set with the same band minus saxman John Hart and while they lack the careful production of the studio session (the mixing of the instruments sometimes leaves something to be desired) they pretty well make up for it in the excitement of the live occasion and the sense of adrenaline and sheer enjoyment that Chenier displays throughout.”
