I remember buying this album when it first came out. Top stuff.

Another 'Tight' band from that period.
You might have seen this - But hey great for a Sunday morning.
Top playing all round, and the Bass player likes a Groove.....

The Yellowjackets introduced me to Robben Ford for which I always be grateful.

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]you have just posted a very favourite band of mine LowDown. especially the Live In Reykjavik vid. Johann Asmundsson is possibly one of the best bass players alive. in my opinion. always been in awe of his playing. he's so funky but he plays the most complex stuff. . since i bought Monkey Fields many years ago I've loved this band.[/color][/font]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]when the drummer plays the bass with his sticks, and Johann frets a note or two,just a very cool. you don't see this very often. these guys are just so talented in my opinion. super tight stuff from some real masters. notice a certain percussionist from Incognito.

A great band - my personal favourite... (an oldie but a goodie! ) Robben Ford's guitar seals the deal for me.

[/quote]RF's Talk To Your Daughter pretty much has The Yellowjackets on it for many of the tracks and Roscoe Beck playing bass on other tracks; a bit more bluesey and less fusion-like but still a great album, Help The Poor is awesome
