James Blood Ulmer - Are You Glad To Be Living In America

[sokollu]

I'm lucky I have the 7 inch and also caught 'em at Seventh Ave. South in New York with Ronald Shannon Jackson, David Murray, maybe Oliver Lake too and I think Amin Ali. One of the very best musical performances I have ever been to. Genetical change happened!

@sokollu I'm so jealous I've never even seen Blood one time.!!!

@kofferfischii Sounds more like Shakira to me.

Jame Blood Ulmer  moves me , way down to my soul.

Yes . The rough trade version actually is my most favored.

This version is the same as the original Rough Trade LP version, which is different (and better imo) than the subsequent cd issues of same (where the sound is cleaned up a little, but the "handclaps" have been taken out of the mix...)
