CD Reviews

Original Master Recording
August West | San Diego, CA United States | 05/26/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Sailin' Shoes is a classic recording I've owned on LP, CD, and now the Original Master Recording CD. I enjoy the music (obviously) bit after comparing the Original Master CD to the standard issue CD on a $40,000 stereo system I would have to say I could barely detect a difference. Now Yes Fragile is another story entirely and I would definitely recommend that Original Master Recording based on its outstanding sound quality but Sailin' Shoes was not worth the money in my book (although the packaging is better).

"
Thanks! I'll eat it here!

"I am so heartened to see so many five-star reviews here! Oh, yeah, Sailin' Shoes is a wonderful record--pure pleasure, really. Think Rubber Soul, the Replacements' Hootenanny, Beck's Odelay--Sailin' Shoes is electric (and acoustic), eclectic, eccentric and oh so alive. Not totally ready for primetime (that's Dixie Chicken), but all the better for it. I hate people telling me the plot details of a movie, so I'll just say--how many records are funny, surrealistic, totally rockin', AND lovable? Check it out!"
This Or "Dixie Chicken" Presents Them At A Peak

"Though lyrically the overall feel of this record is slightly provincial, it can still transport me to places I wanna be. Musically, this pop product from California is stylistically consistent. Yet the instrumentation is diverse and each member is resourceful. But it's Lowell George's vocals and slide guitar that are primarily at the center. He's not flashy and that's a positive. You get treated to 12-bar blues, a song of prescription meds for tripping and a blues with an accordian.

But the three highlights are "Easy To Slip", a jaunty acoustic/electric number about lighting up and the sheer joy that memory drifting can project, "Teenage Nervous Breakdown" in which they switch to the domain of energy-driven rock and roll and the title track, a leisurely-paced country blues in which a generous helping of background vocals provides just the right amount of tension."
