Excellent comp, however...

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The upside is that these are the ORIGINAL versions of Webb's hits, not the awful remakes he made later. However, there's one thing you should know: the version of "Slowly" included here is NOT the hit version, but rather an earlier one. While it's nice to have this alternate take (as it isn't available anywhere else other than the Bear Family box, I'm sure), it seems odd that the more familiar version of "Slowly" wasn't used. I say this because of its historical significance -- Bud Issacs' pedal steel intro was really the genesis of pedal steel in country music; it was hugely influential, and it seems odd to hear "Slowly" without it. This quibble aside, the whole CD is worth it for the chance to hear "The New Raunchy." One wonders what them boys was drinkin' in the studio that night!"
