Hot Tuna - True Religion

[MrTrapper220]

I played this album at every party I ever threw. FANTASTIC !!!

[albatross7677]

Rev. Gary Davis wrote this?

[SuperKalaspuffar]

@albatross7677 No, the Rev.did his version of True/Pure religion, another arrangement. This is more similar to Leadbellys version from the 30ś and to Blind Lemon Jeffersons from late 1925/early 1926.

A friend left this album behind in my basement 200 years ago & I just stashed it atop some books with the cover art out. No idea it was an acoustic Jefferson Airplane mutation. Ignored it for a year. One day I planned to go record hunting for new tunes with $50. There was a blizzard. Never went for the lps. Instead, still having an itch for new music, I took down the Burgers lp & gave it a spin. The following week I bought every Hot Tuna album I could find.

[smock66]

thanks for posting this mix...awesome! It don't get any better does it. It's hard to imagine that fuckin Disco took up so much airtime after this kind of quality stuff.

I'M GONNA SEE THESE GUYS IN ASBURY PARK

[jeanhartely]

Saw Hot Tuna a few times. I love this album, brings me back to when I was a kid.

[edmundsampo]

lol this song wasn't written by whoever these crappy guys are. This is a Leadbelly song. And his version had soul.

[Katmundu]

These "crappy guys" are in the Rock Hall of Fame for their work in the Jefferson Airplane. As for Leadbelly, Jorma reveres the old masters more than anyone.

[Andrarch]

@Katmundu damn straight. i like you.

[JuliaB1955]

JeffersonJukebox: Thanks for posting all these BURGERS songs. I NEVER get tired of Jorma, Jack, and Papa John Creach!

[fiddlerfart]

this is simply how it's done - i mean DONE

[Katmundu]

still working for a living

[Katmundu]

Been a fan for more than 30 years. Everyone wants to make money, but to these guys and others like them, the music has always been important. Burgers is easily my favorite by this

great band.

[bush555]

I believe there called Hot Tuna actually.

[Katmundu]

sorry, I may have been feeling a little too good when I wrote that last comment. The word is they're for they are, actually.

[bush555]

Haha no problem sir.

[Katmundu]

and no problem from this side, bush. I'm looking forward to seeing them on Aug. 28.

It's supposed to be electric Hot Tuna. That's fine, even though I love to hear Jorma pick.

[bush555]

No way! That's amazing, where you seeing them at?

[Katmundu]

I'll be seeing Hot tuna at Skippers Smokehouse in Tampa. It's a great outdoor

venue that allows about 1000 patrons. It's on Youtube

[bush555]

Sounds like your livin' the life.

You retired there?

[bluesjuke]

So good to hear this balst from my past again.

[moco635]

none better!

[afterthefox]

i love this song.remember when i first heard it...she was lovely and willing.

[spinskype]

papa john jorma  jack oh yeah i believe

[Byrontheone]

The Real Old Days rock n roll will never die!

I'm sure Cold Play, and Bush(Gavin) could learn a thing or two.

[smarlonc]

Hallelujah indeed! Such a fine song...
