My question is this, as a new fan, what 1, 2 or 3 CD's would you consider a "must have" to start my collection?
Thanks!
Hi and welcome first of all. Better late than never as they say. As to your question, you will get a hundred different answers (maybe), depending on our individual tastes. Earlier fans will cite some of the earlier releases and latecomers some of the more recent recordings.
Fact is, you'r e gonna have to buy 'em all! My first purchase of Joe's was 'You and Me' so I am a relative latecomer. But I suspect most fans would agree that 'Live - from Nowhere in Particular' should feature somewhere in that 1,2, 3 list.
For me it is one of the best sounding live recordings I have ever heard, and the playing ain't bad either
I also love 'Blues Deluxe' and 'Sloe Gin'. I suppose though LFNIP really showcases the magnificence of his performing. It is jaw dropping stunning. Simple as that.
That said I am waiting for my Royal Albert Hall DVD as I write- so who knows? This will probably be the new 'best'.
Whatever you go for.........enjoy........it's genius at work.
