Music reviews of Live! In Chicago
Music Review: Great performances, despite NO VOODOO CHILD on regular edition...
Rating: 5 Stars
Kenny Wayne hearkens back to his roots here, playing a mixture of blues standards and old KWS favorites, with his trusty vocalist Noah Hunt re-assuming his lead vocal duties after Kenny's latest studio flop, "The Place You're In". Actually, Noah has to take a backseat for much of this album to make room for the several guest stars, which turn in fine performances, with Kenny's accompanying fat Strat tone searing into the Stratosphere! His tone is KILLER, with plenty of bite and depth! Noah sounds better than ever--really bluesing it up here! Only 2 gripes: 1) Deja Voodoo is performed with a slower, more laid-back, lilting beat than on the studio version, and ehh, just doesn't work, IMO. And 2) They chose to leave off Voodoo Child! The only time he has recorded it in the past is on the flipside of the Blue on Black CD single, which is IMPOSSIBLE to find unless you want to pay a small fortune! It's a personal thing for me, I must admit, as I had the chance to see the KWS band live this past summer, but the concert was cut short due to a lightning storm. I'm pretty sure he would have played Voodoo Child, so I'm still looking for restitution--lol.
A must have for all KWS fans--great sound, too!
EDIT: OK, another reviewer informed me that there is a deluxe edition with Voodoo Child (I fixed my review title accordingly). Hurray, but it ticks me off that I didn't know about before buying the scaled down version CD. Nevertheless, I of course will have to purchase the Deluxe version now...live and learn... :-)
EDIT #2: OK, I got the deluxe edition (hope the record company is happy, I have BOTH versions of this CD now), and the Voodoo Child performance is very good--explosive playing by all involved! However, I think Kenny kind of "played it safe" during the solo sections with "by the book" riffs borrowed from SRV's version. I understand that one of his missions has always seemed to be to pay homage to the late great SRV, but I would have liked to see him go out on limb a little more and get a little more "crazy" with it--kind of put a new twist on it, maybe...overall though, I'm still glad I got the deluxe version, as it also includes a couple of other cuts not found on the standard version (there should only be ONE version, though...come on!).
