Redbone Golden Classics CD

 Two Great Redbone Albums Released On One CD!!
This is a great sounding CD that contains two of their best albums in original running order. The albums Potlach and Message from a Drum are here in this set along with two extra cuts from the Wovoka Album! To date they are the only releases available of complete Redbone Albums. IF you are looking for classic Redbone Albums this is your best bet! The packaging is is a bit misleading as one might believe this is a greatest hits package and music from just two albums falls short of a good compilation.

 Redbone, Not what expected
I ordered this album for my husband for our anniversary. We loved Redbone on 8 track and I was hoping this would be it, but it is not and we were disappointed.

 Great music from an original Seventies band
Golden Classics is made up of Redbone*s 2nd. and 3rd. albums - "Potlatch" & "Message From A Drum" respectively, originally released 1970- 1971. The songs on this collection are presented in chronological order and two bonus tracks from fifth album "Wovoka" have beeen added as well. Featuring the original line-up of the band, Lolly Vegas (Leslie guitar and vocals), brother Pat Vegas (bass and vocals), Tony Bellamy (wah-wah guitar and vocals) & Pete Depoe (drums), Redbone takes us on a musical trip covering styles like soul, rhythm & blues, swamp-rock (cajun), straight pop music, folk ("Alcatraz") and regular jamming like the instrumental "Without Reservation." Obviously with their Native American background, some ceremonial drumming was provided by Pete DePoe, as on "Chant: 13th. Hour." The blending of the different guitar sounds of Lolly Vegas and Tony Bellamy, DePoe's effective percussion, and Pat Vegas' thundering bass lines make for a ricly varied musical experience. Then you've got the contrasting lead vocals between the light, slighty nasal tenor of Lolly Vegas and the deep growl of Pat Vegas. The sound is good, as you will probably notice halfway through the album on tracks #11 - 21 (all from "Message From A Drum"). If you want to add some Redbone CDs to your record collection, this is a good place to start. Now couldn't somebody persuade Sony Music to release their debut album ( originally a double LP) as well as their 4th. album "Already Here" in the CD configuration. It's about time.

 This is Genuine Redbone Essence
I have all their albums (which I'm surprised I never wore out) If you are a genuine Redbone fan you'll be happy with this CD. This is great rock and roll.
