I'm so old I bought this album when it originally issued on vinyl.  Never heard them do anything less than terrific.  Really exemplary musicians for all the Original Acid-Rock connections.

I was just a kid, but I sure do remember the older brothers of friends and fellow Boy Scouts who often hung out or studied with this (and Jimi & Janice & Doors of course) in the background...and I thought it was just fine!  When I asked "hey, who's that playing?" you can bet the name sure stuck in my mind, too...

You might even call it a Hot Tuna Sandwich.

Okay, maybe not.

MUNGO JERRY??  Hahahahaha! 

Hot Tuna and NRBQ (New Rhythm and Blues Quartet) were some of my first exposures to "hillbilly blues" or "redneck rock" (or whatever you want to call it) and a lifetime of pleasurable listening.  Of course, I liked Mungo Jerry, too.

YES!  Saw Jorma and Jack some years back in Boulder, and though they didn't have the violin, they sure had their Blues on!  Sometimes, a little Hot Tuna sure HITS THE SPOT!  Thanks, RP, for knowing so often just exactly when that is!

I was astounded it was as high as a 6.4.

Good question. Some days I really wish I hadn't tatooed that bandana across my forehead though.

LOVE me some Hot Tuna. Back in my serious guitar playing days, I set about learning a huge portion of the Hot Tuna repertoire. I never sounded as good as Jorma but it sure was rewarding to play those pieces.

Wonder if it's the violent message that some people here object to.
