For the time being, my office is my playroom (former formal living/dining) so I get more time to sit and listen to my record collection while I work. Now I wish I had more records. :(

The most underrated band in history.


EDIT: The Fox/Walsh/Peters line-up anyway, after Walsh's departure they pretty much turned to mush.

Some more from the Gang:

Looks like copyright got to them - they were all up last night!


PLEASE for the love of good music - if you do one thing today, listen to this set. And if you're not hooked after that, then there's no saving ya'.

Unfortunately this is the only one that is still live, but very humorous! Will look for them now, primarily the combo you mentioned earlier. Thanks for revitalising an old farts musical tastes. ;)

So do you only recommend these two albums?
  • James Gang Rides Again (July 1970)
  • Thirds (April 1971)

Wow. They were live last night. Looks like the almighty copyright gods got to them.

I have all of their stuff on either vinyl or CD. Their debut album Yer' Album is my personal favourite. You've got a bit of everything there - 10 minutes blues jams, some before it's time 'Walshy' sort of songs in Bluebird & Funk #48 & really nice acoustic pieces (Collage). Walsh did both lead & vocals on this album, but they introduced a new frontman in '71(?) to give Walsh more time to focus on his guitaring. Since '70 they had people coming & going so there was never a same line-up across more than one album. Rides Again was released in '70 & is a bit more chilled out & relaxed. Miami (1974) is another awesome set but in a very different way to their earlier stuff - mainly because Walsh was missing. You just need to listen to the albums as a whole. They're all great in their different respects.

So - I'm saying, I recommend all of them!

Thanks for the thoughtful and helpful response, I'll search them all out then. I'm very much a put the album on and listen to the whole thing as it was created type. So will enjoy the journey they take. Thanks again for the suggestions. :cool:

After seeing them live in May, I funded their kickstarter and have been enjoying the new cd for a couple of week now. These guys still have it!
