The four Lenny Breau albums I've heard are some of my favourite records--Mo' Breau, Five o'Clock Bells, Quietude & Legacy (the first two are now available doubled-up on a signle CD, the latter two are now available as Live at Bourbon Street, though I still just have the original LPs). I was wondering what else of his people had heard, & how it was. Randy Bachman has recently been digging up a lot of previously unreleased material, & I know some of his other recordings have been issued on CD. My impression was that the available documentation was rather haphazard, given Breau's short & messy life, but I was curious what else was worth getting.
The good news is that there's a forthcoming bio of Breau--Daryl Angier at Coda tells me they'll be running an excerpt from it later this year.
I own a bootleg cd of Lenny and Danny Gatton at the Cellar Door in Washington, DC. Lenny brought his amp - a 15 watt Ampeg - in to Long and McQuade here in Toronto for repairs at least once a week. The bootleg is great for content, but just a little wobbly as far as audio production.
