Disappointed .. and more
Nathan is way beyond wonderful & I had high expectations . I remember Abe Laboriel’s early recordings with Friendship .. and how superb they were .
So … I bought this and ….
101 Eastbound - loses the great bass part of the original and the lovely rhythm guitar / piano part … and the great percussive piano … its the only Fourplay track that I keep .
This is a pointless remake . The piano sounds so digital …. ughh … are there any fingers or keys involved ?
Sir Duke … a totally pointless reworking … fun for the musicians no doubt but adds nothing ….
Moondance - I love Doobies era Mike McD … but he is in danger of being brought on … a bit like Meryl Streep … he over emotes … enough already ! Nice bass part though … generally ; NOBODY should cover this … even Van’s version wasn’t that great !
Cant Find My Way Home …. oh no ! Not another version of this ! Eric’s cliche guitar … Nathan … that lyric belongs in the late sixties & should be left well alone ….
I’m going to look for the good in this … I have bought it after all … but …. so far its awful !
So … so disappointing .
Nathan is a terrific bass player .
