Just recently got hold of Jimmy Bell and am completely blown away. I played it nearly constantly for a week, and still am reaching for it almost every day. I haven't been so drawn to an album, possibly ever.

The liner notes (and their web site) refer to the audience at the show where Jimmy Bell was recorded as lackluster. This is so hard for me to believe, even given the fact that they were there for Bob Marley. I'm really curious what they sound like these days.

They sound more "mature" but they still rock the fucking house for three hours.

seven years pass...

I noticed recently that the first album is on Spotify and have been playing it non-stop lately. Since I'm not likely to make it to Ohio anytime soon, any advice on other recordings worth getting (some seem easier to find than others, Jimmy Bell is the only one I see on Spotify).

three years pass...

Been slow to get on board with "Jimmy Bell's Still In Town" - heard it a number of years ago but it finally clicked. I can't seem to find a CD version of the recent reissue with 9 tracks (3 bonus), unclear if one actually exists though it's listed in Discogs it could be a CDr.

Got the two Hearpen digital singles, they make an excellent complement to the albums seeing as they're recorded by the same lineup.
