Live in Chicago

Jack Johnson was a once-in-a-generation talent. He was an incredibly dynamic live performer. For those that weren't lucky enough to see him live, you owe it to yourself to pick up this CD. Well, the same is also true for those that were lucky enough to see him live. This is a necessary blues album to own.

Great guitar and blues

I love live music and this is one of the best - Big Jack Johnson live is totally enjoyable. I've been trying to coordinate my travel with Big Jack's appearances but have not had any luck, so this is the next best thing.

I love live blues. I love Big Jack. BUT the audio quality onalmost every other track is appalling and this CD should never have been released.

Excellent music (his version of "Night Train" is one of the best I've ever heard) by an excellent musician. You can really hear how timeless the blues is in this album. Get it if you enjoy Albert King or Buddy Guy and you won't be dissapointed!

This is an excellent CD. Big Jack Johnson wrote several cuts on the CD and puts his signature on the rest. Big Jack was an excellent musician, composer, and vocalist. His guitar work here is superb, and the tone he achieves is delivered through his skills and not through electronics. The sound is a true melding of the "voices" of Big Jack Johnson's vocal cords and of his guitar.While the title is "Live in Chicago," with backing from a strong Chicago crew, the music is strongly influenced by Big Jack's Mississippi upbringing.I do not find a thing wrong with the audio quality of this live set. Live CDs often DO suffer from sound quality issues, but on this one, the sound is actually quite good.Anyone interested in some real blues delivered by a true Mississippi musician should buy this "Live in Chicago" CD. It offers a really great set of music, and it's one I often play - over and over again.
