The Flatlanders - More A Legend Than A Band (1972 feat. Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock) - Plain & Fancy

 This is nice . . .  not as rip roaring as Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock fans might have expected from live recordings and that leaves the title somewhat ironic as this is scarcely a legendary performance but it IS highly enjoyable and perfectly listenable. I am unlike the enthusiast who writes the liner note review here [Brendan McGrath, April 23rd, 2007] on Rockasteria but it's . . . . . well, nice! Good call Marios!

 In fairness I played it straight the way through and will play it again for sure but I am a Joe Ely and Butch Hancock and Jimmie Dale fan and this doesn't somehow quite match up to their separate work or certainly their live appearances but that's so true of so many bands. . . . . It is FINE! Have a listen and leave a comment saying you disagree!  ha ha ha ha . . . . . . . 

Enjoy!
