"I just had to drop in on this and clear up some misinformation about a good band. Mark Pierson's review is inaccurate. BOA covers Tommy Bolin songs on this album and Pierson notes that Tommy Bolin is the former T-Rex member. WRONG. Pierson is thinking of the late Marc Bolin, who founded and headed the glam rock band T-Rex. Marc was British. Tommy Bolin, who also is passed away, was an American and former lead guitartist of both the James Gang (took Joe Walsh's place) and Deep Purple (took Ritchie Blackmore's place). He was an amazing guitar player and remember fondly by longtime Purple fans.That being said, Black Oak Arkansas is a great southern boogie band and this CD is testimony to their perserverence. I prefer the original versions of these songs, but that's just my taste. There's nothing wrong with this package and if you like downhome country-fried rock with smoking guitar riffs... you'll like this just fine."
