Review:
Recorded live in Snooks Eaglin's hometown of New Orleans, this 1971 concert presents the lauded blues singer/guitarist performing a typically eclectic acoustic set. Tracks range from the quirky "Boogie Children" to the laid-back "Funky Malaguena" to the ironically sunny "I Get the Blues When It Rains," with Eaglin's emotive voice and subtle six-string playing faring wonderfully in the solo spotlight. For those unfamiliar with this somewhat obscure artist, this is an excellent introduction.
