Music reviews of Hootenanny

Music Review: I can't believe I'm giving this great album a bad review...but
Rating: 1 Stars

It must be noted that I've been a huge fan of this band for just about twenty years. So these reissues were something to look forward to (as they have been supposedly in the works for ten years). But unfortunately it's been the blind leading the blind as far as these reissues are concerned.

The music. Okay so the original vinyl album was the first album that I bought by this band. It still sounds great. So does the majority of this CD actually. However, as I get to the awesomely dramatic "Willpower" I notice that the beginning of the song is chopped off!! The song has forever started with the guitar line and then a "bu-dum" tom-tom part. Now there's no more guitar line intro and just part of the "dum". I don't know how they (Rhino/Ryko) can make BIG mistakes involving the transfers/remasters on three out of the four reissues. Stink (drop-out on the intro to "White & Lazy") and Let It Be (several edited tracks!) have the same issues involving either head-scratching mistakes or blatant editing of tracks. The majority of people buying these don't want revisionist history lessons - just the material as it has existed for over twenty years.

Who thought it was even an okay idea to put the stupid preface on the index to the bonus tracks (of someone walking down a hallway, enters door, slams door and the bonus material commences)? Not only is it plain corny and needless but it bleeds onto the beginning of the following track! They couldn't even execute a bad idea properly!

The bonus tracks are iffy at best as they left off the full band studio version of "Don't Get Married" and "Shook Me, Kill Me" as well (both fine outtakes from the album). "Bad Worker" is fine but has no place on this as it's a home demo and not a studio outtake (this sort of material - home demos - is begging for it's own disc on perhaps a box set?). And the ten seconds (or so) bits from interviews at the end of these discs deserve better than fifteen seconds after the final track. While these may be awfully cute and all they don't deserve to be on the same track as say a classic such as "If Only You Were Lonely" (as on "Sorry Ma"). This sort of thing was almost still funny fifteen years ago. It's pretty pointless doing things like this now. Put the complete interview on it's own track - it won't detract from anything this way.

If you are already a fan of this fine band, you undoubtedly will have issues with several things on these releases. Reissues have been done very well for almost twenty years now (good example of a great reissue series - The Monkees also on Rhino). I highly doubt anyone was trying to break the mold here (it's obvious they wouldn't know how). I'm just shocked that these were so poorly handled on several levels, with so many (intentionally made or not) mistakes. The band and it's fans simply deserve better.
