1296.0. "Info on Hot Tuna acoustic guitar albums?" by ARETE::COOPER () Thu May 04 1989 15:27

    I haven't used this conference before so please excuse me if this
    request is a little out of line with the expressed purpose.

    I have a Hot Tuna album that I REALLY like for its acoustic guitar
    work and I think its title is just "Hot Tuna" although on the cover
    it also says "live at the New Orleans House in Berkeley".

    I want to order some CD's and the Noteworthy catalog has three Hot
    Tuna titles listed:

	"Splashdown"
	"Hot Tuna"
	"Burgers"

    Can anyone tell me if any or all or none of these contain the same
    quality and "classic" (from a country blues perspective) style of
    the album that I have?

    This information would be much appreciated by a student acoustic
    guitarist.  A couple of the titles on the titles on the album I have
    are "Police Dog Blues", "Death Don't Have Mercy", and "I Know You
    Rider". 

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Jeff Cooper

	The one you have already is "Hot Tuna". It should be a budget CD. It's the only acoustic (more or less) Tuna release. "Splashdown" is a very late album, pretty poor. "Burgers" has the gorgeous "Water Song" and "Keep On Trucking" but is mostly undistinguished.

	Wow ! This really freaked me out. First I thought, "I don't remember writing this..." then: "I don't have an account on that node either..." Then I thought, "Wow, I don't even care for seafood !!" Just thought I'd introduce myself, Coop. ;^) Don't you get my software magazines too ? Jeff Cooper (Thats Jeffrey F. Cooper !)
1296.3	Quah Tuna	CAVEAT::COLE		`Fri May 05 1989 11:47`	6
	There's a great Hot Tuna acoustic album called Quah. I think it was released in 1973. If you can't find it, send me a tape and I'll record it for you. Dave Cole
1296.4	Not 100% Tuna	AQUA::ROST	The closer I am to fine	`Fri May 05 1989 12:01`	3
	Nit..."Quah" was credited to Jorma Kaukonen and doesn't have Casady on it.
1296.5	Pronounced Hot f&#$!n' Tuna	RAVEN1::BLAIR		`Fri May 05 1989 13:04`	7
	I am not a die hard 'Tuna fan, I but I love both albums I have heard which are Phosphorescent Rat and Double Dose. "Corners without Exits" and "I See the Light" are classic 'Tuna on the P.R. and the Double Dose is live with a killer version of Chuck Berry's "Talkin' 'Bout You". Both have acoustic and plenty of electric but that's Hot Tuna.

	Ditto on .5. Double Dose is an extremely good album. I don't think it's been released on disc yet, so you may have to buy.....vinyl.8^) It's a 2 album set with one side all accoustic and some other cuts that sound quite good as accoustic (Watch the North Wind Rise, See the Light,...). I went to see Jorma and Jack at the Worcester Auditorium about 2 years back. It brought back memories. mIkEy Z.
