Diamond Dave is a personal hero of mine. But I've unfortunately found his solo albums sometimes very patchy. I would say A LIL AIN'T ENOUGH is especially patchy, although I would put IT'S SHOWTIME and A LIL AIN'T ENOUGH amazing tracks in anybody's collection.
I made a disc for the car tonight and was surprised at how amazing the tracks are, and the selection. The dude has some incredible solo work...DLR BAND is a smoking CD. And my god, some of these selections are fantastic. This disc will be in my player all week.
My selections on the CD are:
Yankee Rose
Hot Dog and a Shake
Black Light
Shyboy
A Lil Ain't Enough
Knucklebones
Tobacco Road
Big Train
Little Texas (possibly my all-time favorite solo Dave tune)
Counter-Blast
Damn Good (another favorite...crime that this wasn't on BEST OF)
Ladies' Night In Buffalo
Slam Dunk
She's My Machine
Don't Piss Me Off
Big Trouble
Just Like Paradise
Elephant Gun
Skyscraper
It's Showtime!
King of the Hill
Goin' Crazy
Just a Gigolo
Bump and Grind
Black Sand (another forgotten classic off DLR BAND)
I don't have anything off the new album on this because I don't own it...yet.
Feedback?
