I think I got this before the labor day sale so it would have been a dollar. It had a bunch of great instrumental tunes on it. This is the second sax record I posted this month. What am I thinking?This is also the second album I posted from Nashville Session SaxMaster, Boots Randolph. Like I said, above, tunes like “Desafinado”, Tuff”, “You Can’t Sit Down”, and “Tequila” made it worth checking out. Also, who does not like yet another version of “Danny Boy”. “Night Train” is also on this but after you hear/ see James Brown’s version, it kind of ruins all others.
This record, released in 1967, may have been his tenth. It is ok. Kind of standard interpretations of the songs. Quite honestly, in the back of my mind, I did not expect anything different. There is nothing really bad on this album but there is nothing that really jumps up and grabs you either.
For a sample, I went with the before mentioned “Night Train”. Kind of pales in comparison to the video, huh? That is a bit unfair, I know.
Meh. I mean he is a talented sax man, but this does not really do it for me.
