A couple of caveats attached to this one.

The recording does not include the first song. Unfortunately, I arrived late. I entered the theatre at the very beginning of the second song. The first 90 seconds are pretty rough -- you'll hear me enter the theatre, being shown to my seat, and then waiting for some gentleman to vacate it. After that, it's pretty much all good . . . almost. There were some rude people behind me who were obviously only there for the main act (Bonnie Raitt). They, at times, were quite noisy. There's also one tiny audible glitch during that first 90 seconds.

With all that's wrong with this recording, you're probably wondering why I would bother sharing it. I'll tell you why: Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen are FANTASTIC. If you are not familiar with their sound, take this opportunity and change that. They've got a funky New Orleans sound and are just a whole lot of fun to listen to. I can't recommend them enough. Their recordings are few and far between ~ another reason I decided to share this one. I'd love to see some more Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen recordings make their way to Dime.

Try it ~ You'll like it !!
