Go, J.R.!.......2004-11-08

This is a reissue of Johnny Rivers' first and second albums (At the Whiskey a Go Go and Here We a Go Go Again!). Both albums were recorded live at the Whiskey a Go Go, where Johnny and his sidemen were the "house band" at the time. Johnny Rivers may not have been the most original rocker around, but he played with an infecious enthusiasm that was quite enjoyable. It should be pointed out that all but two of the songs here are cover versions of other people's material. The two original songs here are Johnny's composition "John Lee Hooker" (mistitled "Whiskey a Go Go"), and "Walk Myself on Home" which was written by his bass player and his drummer. Although Johnny's cover versions are almost never as good as the original performers versions, the songs still have a fun, intimate, small club feel to them. Don't go looking for much originality in this CD, but if you are a fan of Johnny Rivers, you will enjoy it.

Whiskey a Go Go.......2003-06-29

I love Johnny Rivers, I was at the club back in the sixites when he performed many of these hits. The first half of the CD I thought was great. It brought back so many memories of the music that night when it was live. Towards the end of the Cd I didn't care for some of the songs. But in all I still think it's a good CD of his music to listen to.

An album you'll have fun listening to.......2003-05-20

I have had this on a record album for sooo long it will be fantastic to get it on a CD. His Memphis hit is well known, as well as Brown-Eyed Handsome Man and Lawdy Miss Clawdy. His music sparkles and the beat will get you moving. It Wouldn't Happen With Me had better get you laughing. Whether you enjoy rock, folk, country or pop, his enthusiasm and humor will grab hold of you.

Live Rivers Rocks...........2000-08-11

I'm not usually a fan of live rock performances, but Rivers club performances are much more fun and infectious than massive stadium concerts. There's not much here in the way original material. However, Johnny's treatments of Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, and even Beatles standards are a great listen!

A little goes a long way..................2000-03-03

As much as I like Johnny Rivers, (and I am a big fan), this is way too monotonous. This 2 fer was recorded before he hit his stride with "...AND I KNOW YOU WANNA DANCE" (which is still not out on CD! ). Of course the advantages of CD players is that most are programmable. This might be great for a party but it's too much of the same thing if you're listening to it on a long drive.

Live, rough and raw.......1999-01-18

I saw Otis live in New Orleans in 1966. This album comes close to that "live" experience. It was recorded with Otis's "road band". It is live, rough and raw. And you can hear his down-to-earth friendliness shine through. Not a "must-have, but it is a "must hear"!

Great recording.......2007-07-09

First of all, these are great sound quality and very little audience interference for a live recording. Very easy to listen to.

The tunes and songs are great. I've got all their albums now and listen to them all the time.

About the best live album I have ...........2004-02-28

....and I have quite a few.
I have only recently become a fan of the band, but what a sensational troupe of people they are.

Having bought "Deux Voyages", it seemed to me obvious that the next album to buy should be a live one and I made the right choice. They were obviously very relaxed when they recorded the album - it comes through very clearly. The atmosphere is electric and the band just stomp along at such a lick. The 53-odd minutes seemed over in a flash. I had such a ball listening to it - i had to listen to it again immediately to make sure I didn't miss anything.

No weak track, just wonderful Cajun music. They sing and talk in either French or English and slip between the two languages naturally and with the utmost ease.

Just a sensational album and one for the connoisseurs of ALL music.

Excellent Cajun Music.......2002-03-20

My daughter, who lives in Louisiana, recently gave me this CD. I had never heard of the group but had other Cajun and Zydeco CD's for comparison. Overall, this has to be one of the best I have which includes Beausoleil, David Doucet, D.L. Menard, Bruce Daigrepont, Queen Ida, Clifton Chenier and Jo-El Sonnier. I highly recommend you add this CD to your collection if you like Cajun music. For the full pleasure, I recommend you listen to the CD at least once with a good set of earphones. I am in the heart of Bluegrass music country and this Cajun music is also greatly appreciated.

Don't understand a word, but I love this music.......2001-04-05

Upbeat and in french, it moves. If you like th Balfa Brothers, this is another disc for your collection.

Not what I remember.......2006-06-27

My mother had Johnny Rivers Live at the Whiskey A Go Go on album back in the mid sixties. It was completely different than what is offered here. I distinctly remember several songs that aren't on this collection. He did his own version of Suzy-Q. Also had Stop in the name of love, and Land of 1000 dances. If I thought about it long enough I'm sure I could think of others that aren't there as well. I was only 12 or 13 back then. I loved that album and wore it out completely. So where did these songs go? This being a two album set that's currently offered I have no way of knowing which songs are supposedly from which album? But I do know that this isn't right. I really wanted to buy that album again but this is so completely different and wrong!

More is Not Always Better.......2003-10-06

My roommate and I had purchased Johnny Rivers' Whiskey A-Go-Go- on a record album long ago, so when I saw that plus his Here We A-Go-Go Again on a CD I bought it for her birthday. Both of us found we liked the first set of tracks better than the second, including Walkin' the Dog, Brown-Eyed Handsome Man and It Wouldn't Happen With Me. We found the tempo on the Whisky A-Go-Go was faster than on the Here We A-Go-Go. It still has the Rivers' sound and plenty of tracks to do some foot-stompin' to, just so long as you don't need to worry about turning the sound down.

Small Venue with a Tight Band and a Big Sound.......2002-06-13

I first heard the latter of this compilation (Here We A-Go-Go Again)at a friends place back in 1969. His mom had the record and everytime I'd visit, she would let me blare the stereo as long as I'd have Johnny Rivers playing. Some years later I bought both albums for my own and still listen to them today although "Here We A-Go-GO Again" gets the nod. Johnnys crisp guitar and harmonica playing along with Jerry Rubins drums and Joe Osbournes bass gave this trio a great sound.
Great songs like Chuck Berrys "Maybelline" and Roger Millers "Dang Me" were spun out on Johnnys southern style of Rockabilly Blues. "High Heal Sneakers" has a great bottom line rhythym with Johnnys almost inert vocal style. The album is mostly all cover tunes but I really appreciated the way Rivers kept the tempo for the audience who on more than one occasion included themselves in on the show. It's a real simple concept with a small venue armed with talented musicians playing to a very receptive crowd. I still play these songs and although not a considered a classic by any means, it still remains one of my favorites.

This is a shame and a sin that this is not available in U.S........2003-09-08

This is Live, raw Otis at his best. These are the takes that didn't make it onto the first Live Volume - also inexplicably unavailable in the U.S. The band is loose - no Steve Cropper tight arrangements here - this was Otis the way he liked it: lots of banter with the audience and even mock shock at the responses it evoked. This audience was INTO it. "Chained and Bound", "Old Man Trouble", and lots more from this gem of an unissued second. I have the promo LP, it was never issued. One letdown...this CD cut one of my favorite tunes - "Destiny", which opened up the LP I have, but they kept "Hard Day's Night", which is really rough...so rough in fact that Otis doesn't know the words and makes some up as he goes! No matter, that's what it was all about. As Otis says in one of his moments of reveling, "..just take your shoes on off! Relax! Get soulful, you know? Just hollar loud as you wantta, stomp hard as you wantta, and we'll get into a thing, you know?! What a piece of History. This is a real find.
