Wow ! Lovers of ' Real ' Music & Real Musicianship ! ... if you
haven't yet, you may seriously want to acquire this release ! This one is
indeed quite under the radar, but - that's these days ... as I distinctly
remember when this one came out in 1994 - and it created quite a stir !
Especially in the Grateful Dead Fan Universe, and also the community then -
which is often referred to today as the " Jam-Band " Scene. I
mean this was an Impressive ! " Who's Who " in Music that Rob
Wasserman pulled together for this ' Trios ' project, and without any question
at all ... his dedication & efforts on this one were fruitful ! - to say
the very-very least -- R.I.P. Rob. I mean just look at the list of those
that contributed - typed up above ! Even when I was typing that just a
second ago, I was still ! like ... ' Wow !?! '. Well, I'm not sure about
you & your own personal " Wasserman " Experience ! - but ... the
Very 1st Time I saw Rob ' Live ' myself - was with the " Bob & Rob "
Show in 1991 !! Bob Weir & Rob Wasserman at the ( Legendary ! )
Merriweather Post Pavilion ( M.P.P. ! ) in Columbia, Maryland - and, it was ...
as you are likely already aware - a " Duo " Live Acoustic Project ...
with Weir on Acoustic Guitar, and Rob on the Upright Bass ! And ... Wow
!!!?!!! Those guys just flat out ' Smoked-It ! ' So-Incredibly-Hard, that
I was right back at M.P.P. - the very-next year in 1992 ! ... to see them just
Light-It-Up ! Again !! And, the 1st Tour through - it was also called (
maybe billed-as ' loosely ' ) as the " Scaring The Children " Tour,
which I & many others obviously found some really-great ( " Grate !
" ) humor in ! But, point being ... this Live Show was no joke at
all - it offered plenty of Grateful Dead, Weir / Barlow songs, etc. - Bob Weir
Band - Bobby & The Midnites material, and all of that Great Stuff ! - but,
it also really shined their incredibly unique & synergistic Power ! as a '
Duo ' extremely-well ... so, from that day on - I was a Rob Fan ! I was
aware of Rob's Bass Power & Precision from the Lou Reed Days ( New York '88
) - but, this obviously took it to a whole new level. As I was already a
Weir Fan for years before, obviously. And I was also So-Grateful ! to see
Wasserman involved in the early ' Ratdog ' Days - which, unfortunately didn't
last ( maybe like '95 > '01 ? ). But, as far as Solo-Projects, and out
of the ordinary releases go - with " Special Guests ! " - well, this
is one that I'm pretty sure he was most-proud of ! ... to say the least
!! And, the really cool thing is that I bet Everyone ! involved was
pretty proud of this Project, because it is just loaded to the gills with
Remarkable ! Song Material, Solid Studio Deliveries, Great Recordings, and just
sheer Musical Talent ! And ... naturally, it is also really neat to hear
just how hard & how naturally these Great Musicians are loving working
together - to really live up to & surpass each others expectations.
Definitely a ' Must-Hear ' and really a " Must-Have " CD in the Good
Ol' Music Collection ! ... from that " Awesome ! " Early/Mid-1990's
Era of " Great-Music ! ". -- Enjoy !!!!!
