Liner notes by Sonny Curtis...
" Whatever your musical tastes are, I think you will love this album. I certainly do.
The music you are about to hear has a great feel, tremendous excitement and a spontaneity that is typical of Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes.
The modern recording studio is a great tool and well planned records can be very nice. However,
If one is not careful in the studio, complex
arrangements, too much overdubbing, noise
reduction and things of that nature can make
The music sound sterile and spoil the record. That
does not happen here. This is a "live" album in the
truest sense of the word. What occurred on
stage is what you're gonna hear.
I've had the honour to play with all of these guys. Albert and I were in the Crickets together and
we've both served, at different times, as lead guitarist for the Everly Bros. I'm sure you will agree
that Albert Lee is a trailblazing, trend setting
guitar player and his great singing style has a
unique quality that is all his own.
Gerry, Brian, Pete and Mike have backed me on concert tours and, believe me, my music never
sounded so good. I have enormous respect for
this band. Each member is great, but as far as I'm
concerned, when you put them all together,
they're a musical miracle.
If you get the chance to see Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes in person, please do so. It is an experience
you will enjoy immeasurably.
In the meantime, listen to this. It will do you right."
