"....by "official" releases, I mean releases from the "BIG" companies, so out of touch with their customers. Thank God for small independent labels. If you're a HOOKFOOT fan, this is a "no-brainer", for those of you scratching your heads, HOOKFOOT was a group of then current/past ELTON JOHN musicians, Caleb Quaye (guitar), Roger Pope ( drums), Fred Gandy (Bass) and Ian Duck (Vocals, harmonica), who played driving, funky, rock 'n soul, with an occasional side of blues. This album was recorded live at the legendary Ardent Studio in Memphis for a long-forgotten radio program. The concert is excellent, and the sound is wonderful. The full tune-stack is:



1. TAXMAN (3:25)

2. IF I HAD THE WORDS (4:21)

3. THEY'LL NEVER FIND US UP THERE (6:10)

4. HERE I COME (16:04)

5. CUCKOO (5:27)

6. CRUSIN' (6:58)

7. NATURE CHANGES (11:09)

8. FREEDOM (9:47)



If you're ever lucky to find this, grab it quick!"
