A friend left this album behind in my basement 200 years ago & I just stashed it atop some books with the cover art out. No idea it was an acoustic Jefferson Airplane mutation. Ignored it for a year. One day I planned to go record hunting for new tunes with $50. There was a blizzard. Never went for the lps. Instead, still having an itch for new music, I took down the Burgers lp & gave it a spin. The following week I bought every Hot Tuna album I could find.
I had guitar intro worming in my head. thought Steve Earle. Nope! Wormed a little more then the bass line wormed in. In time the words came in,"Mama place the pillow... Got it!!
Been a fan for more than 30 years. Everyone wants to make money, but to these guys and others like them, the music has always been important. Burgers is easily my favorite by this
great band.
These "crappy guys" are in the Rock Hall of Fame for their work in the Jefferson Airplane. As for Leadbelly, Jorma reveres the old masters more than anyone.
