Burgers [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com
The Jefferson Airplane splinter combo's third album combines elements of its acoustic debut and electric sophomore title. While frontman Jorma Kaukonen is an acquired taste as a vocalist, he suits the band's old- timey/hippie vibe. His picking, meanwhile, has always been excellent, as has been the bass work of fellow Airplane vet Jack Casady. Elder fiddler Papa John Creach was the quartet's secret weapon and he shines throughout. This is a fine starting point of those with a taste for Tuna. --Steven Stolder

A Burger That Is Healthy In Any Dose!!.......2007-06-07

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

Hot Tuna's third release and first studio effort "Burgers" is a well conceived album with plenty of diversity.

Opening the album is "True Religion", Jorma's careful construction makes us feel as if we have heard the song before. He captures the country/blues style from yesteryear. The tune is indeed a Jorma original and a fine one at that.

The cover to "99 Year Blues" shows on the first listen Hot Tuna's rendition is the gold standard. Every vocal phrase and bit of instrumentation gives the feeling that it's a Jorma Kaukonen composition. Jorma did this with the legendary "Keep On Truckin.'" These tracks are permanently engraved in the Hot Tuna arsenal.

One of the greatest tracks of beauty is "Sea Child." The lyrics run through your head from the initial listen. An antique that gets better with age.

The "Water Song" is in some ways an updated "Embryonic Journey" (From the Jefferson Airplane) only longer. They both have taken their rightful place as tow of the finest instrumentals ever penned.

"Ode For Billy Dean" doesn't fit into a rock and roll hole. Its unique sound is another tribute to Jorma's full spectrum of musical arrangements. The passion shown is evident even to the casual fan.

This is one "Burger" that is healthy in any dose.

Enjoy the music and be well,

"Hot F***** Tuna!".......2006-08-25

BURGERS, the first studio release for this band, followed hard on the heels of the live HOT TUNA (acoustic) and FIRST PULL UP, THEN PULL DOWN (aka HOT TUNA ELECTRIC) and blends the best of both. Hot Tuna, for those of you who don't know, originally began as a splinter group of the phenomenally successful Jefferson Airplane. As the Airplane moved further and further into electric anthem political rock, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady decided they wanted to explore the blues roots underpinning the Airplane's origins. Hence Hot Tuna.

The blues are well represented on BURGERS, from the Reverend Gary Davis' "True Religion" to "99 Year Blues" and the whoop-and-holler Davis composition "Let Us Get Together Right Down Here." Jorma remains in form on "Highway Song," "Sea Child," and "Ode To Billy Dean," a Hot Tuna live performance staple. "Sunny Day Strut" by Kaukonen is a growly electric-blues piece that showcases Casady's talents. While Kaukonen is definitely an acquired taste as a vocalist, his scuffed voice adds another unique and instantly recognizable dimension to the sound that is Hot Tuna.

Jorma's dynamic finger-picking style and his virtuosity on the acoustic guitar had been well camouflaged since "Embryonic Journey" on the Airplane's SURREALISTIC PILLOW. "Embryonic Journey" is a beautiful 1:30 minute guitar minuet. On BURGERS he gives us "Water Song," a more complex, polyrhythmic variation on a theme that is simply breathtaking.

Much of the fabric of BURGERS is contributed by blues violinist Papa John Creach, drummer Sammy Piazza and Casady as bassist. Hot Tuna comprises a freestanding rhythm section that moves in and out of improvisational jazz with an ease born of true musicianship. While never as successful as the Airplane, with it's more simple, spare, and clear sound, Hot Tuna is obviously a tighter and much more talented band.

By far the most well-known song on the album (and Hot Tun's only charted hit) is "Keep On Truckin'" a rockin' song which is as intimately identified with Hot Tuna as is the 1934 Buick Victoria that graces the cover.

In short, BURGERS has taste.

Hot Tuna's First Studio CD.......2006-06-29

BURGERS was Hot Tuna's first studio album, following two live ones, and their second two feature electric instruments. Several songs are acoustic, but a couple point the way to the masterpiece of AMERICA'S CHOICE. The fact that founders Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady believe that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 on drug-smuggling charges was unjustly convicted makes BURGERS an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

A "Classic" classic for the ages........2005-11-03

This third album is, in my opinion, where it all comes together for this band, the acoustic and electric playing, great song selections and production (due in part because its the first studio album, the other two being live efforts). It also has more polish (which in this case is a positive, although I love the first two albums as well). If you "were there" in the early '70s, you know all about this album (either from purchasing it or hearing it at innumerable house parties). If you are unaware of this album, then check it out, as it is one of the few instances where you will get a genuine sense of a time when young musicians sincerely attempted to explore the blues. What a revelation this gumbo of finger picking delta blues, "thunderous" bass, four on the floor percussion and ragtime violin is (Papa John Creach is worth the price of admission alone). All provided within a haze of post '60s San Francisco psychedelia. This band, to my mind, was hands and feet over the Airplane, and, in many respects, more earthy than the Dead. All young musicians should listen to these fine players to catch a glimpse of one of the true originating forces behind the modern "jam-roots-rock" movement. Rag-time-deluxe!!

Masterpiece.......2005-02-13

Burgers & Champagne: A feast for the Soul.......2000-01-31

I live in the San Francisco Bay area and have seen Chuck McCabe at least a hundred times. I love this particular CD because it touches me. Sometimes it touches my heart, such as the song "Remember", sometimes it touches my funnybone. Songs like "Piranhas, Iguanas" and "I Like your Skin" are examples of that. I also really like "Nosejob" and the thing I find funniest about this one is that I've seen people get up and leave during this one, giving the impression that they think this song is about them! Mr. McCabe has a wonderful sense of humor and a voice to match. He engages his audience and draws them in with an intimate interaction, whether in person or in recordings. This is a definite 'DON'T MISS' CD.
