Willie Bobo On Verve

[ejp626]

I always wanted to pick up this one 'cause it has a piece called Nessa. Never did it though.

I certainly owned this at one point. Probably still do. Maybe can check tonight.

Regarding the "Shotgun/Blind Man, Blind Man" track... The 1994 Verve reissue states, "Although originally issued under this title, the music here has no distinct relationship to 'Blind Man, Blind Man'." (Other than the melody, I guess...)

I wondered about that, too. The melody seemed pretty obvious to me.

This is my favorite version of Night Walk:

Was this released before Bobo's? That would explain the whole Steve Hufsteter thing, probably.

The Talkin' Verve compilation is my favorite Bobo best of. Here's the track list:

1. Grazin' In The Grass

2. Lisa

3. Black Coffee

4. The Look Of Love

5. Dreams

6. Evil Ways

7. Night Song

8. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy

9. Roots

10. Spanish Grease

11. Shot Gun/Blind Man, Blind Man

12. Stuff

13. Night Walk

14. Fried Neckbones & Some Home Fries

15. Sham Time

another vote and a for Talkin' Verve!

I bought Spanish Grease on vinyl a few years ago to check him out and I like that one but his covers/song selections don't inspire me to buy more.

Wow, I've gotten completely off of this project...and not minding at all!
