Like a rootsier Jimmy Buffett, Delbert McClinton is an established, hard-touring veteran whose audience doesn't expect from him too much out of the norm. Regardless, the Texan's quintessential mix of country, R&B, Tex-Mex, blues, honky-tonk, New Orleans bump, lounge jazz, and good-time rock and roll is durable enough to sustain a career, especially since nobody does it nearly as well as he does. In the spirit of "don't fix what isn't broken," this album of 13 McClinton originals preserves the established formula. But to his credit, the leathery-voiced singer, now in his mid-60s, never seems to be going through the motions. He delivers this good-natured Americana with gutsy enthusiasm and enough raw energy to power the ocean liner on one of his famous blues cruises. Just as comfortable tearing into the Stonesy rock of "Dead Wrong" as the soft, Spanish guitar-driven folk of "Down into Mexico"--a tale of a robbery/relationship gone bad that flawlessly mixes his tender and tough sides--McClinton revels in his element. Fiddles, sax, and pedal steel augment the arrangements, highlighting the country and blues at the heart of Cost of Living. All that's missing is the sweat, booze, and boisterous crowd that remain an integral aspect of McClinton's legendary shows. --Hal HorowitzCustomer Reviews:

His best album in years.......2006-10-12
good ole country (listen to "Victim Of Life's Circumstances"). The two best cuts here are "Down Into Mexico" (what a story!) and about the saddest song I've ever heard, "Kiss Her Once For Me." When you first listen to the latter, it's easy to assume it's about a lost girlfriend. It's not--it's about a dad who's kind of lost his daughter to the girl's mother, and as a divorced dad, this song breaks my heart. Go, Delbert!

.....masterpiece.......2007-02-28
Why write review when there are already 33 customer reviews here alone, and the album is over 15 years old?
Sometimes it takes time for status to be recognized.
I loved (and I don't use this word lightly) this album as soon as I heard and bought it when it first came out. It evoked so many images, with a lot of tradition but firmly in the present.
Why do I now call it a masterpiece (again not a word I'd flaunt at anything)?
Three counts -
1. the songs - I regard these as Chris Whitley's strongest compositions - he brought his A-game to the table for his first recording on a major label, after many years of performing. More evidence is his re-recording of a lot of these on "Live at Martyr's", and "Weed" his strip-down home recordings. For example the title track conjures up images of the rural poor south - with commentary on the modern times - "they got machines mamma I can't figure", and then runs into seduction "... spread your lover in the straw".
2. his performance - simply outstanding - a evocative and haunting performance both on vocals and guitar. Using the same title track the last verse "so fetch up your greasy apron, spread your lover...." where he glides into falsetto - so natural and emotional - takes you places ...... Fortunately for us there are at least two other recordings of this song available - live on at Martyr's, and stripped down on Weed - although he has no trouble hitting the notes - on neither does he glide so effortlessly into falsetto as here - so loses some of the evocative haunting quality.
3. the recording - many regard this album's recording production as a doubled edged sword for Chris Whitley - it gave him his success - but set a sound standard that he could never reproduce live. However despite that - the overall sound and production adds immensely to the atmophere and mood of this album - without this production this album would not be what it is a masterpiece. Although produced by Malcolm Burn - there is a lot of influence of Daniel Lanois whose studio this was recorded in - Lanois is the producer of U2's "Joshua Tree" - it may seem strange to reference this - but if one watches the Classic Albums video of Joshua - Lanois says Bono's vocals stretching into falsetto exposes the emotion.... and this is exactly the effect when Chris Whitley glides into falsetto on the last verse of the title track......
So why buy this CD? when one could download tracks or even get a copy?
The lyrics - they are in the CD liner -
and at Amazon MarketPlace prices it would be a shame not to own this masterpiece.
The beginning of a great career.......2006-04-10
Although nearly every song here is top notch, only the melancholy title track and "Big Sky Country" would garner decent airplay. Containing memorable melodies as well as Whitley's unmistakable voice which could go from a whisper to a high falsetto without warning, they are both among his best songs and performances. Chris' love of the blues was evident throughout his career and is well exhibited on the dark and brooding tracks "Make the Dirt Stick" and "Long Way Around." While these tunes are both very good, neither of them matches the power of "Phone Call from Leavenworth." One of the best blues songs ever recorded, Chris recalls the old bluesmen like Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker while still retaining his own identity, a pattern he would later return to on his War Crime Blues album. Tracks like "Poison Girl" and "Kick the Stones" are among his most direct and memorable tracks that would have been popular in another time where music mattered more than image. "Look What Has Love Done" and "I Forget You Everyday" are both great ballads although the production is a little dominant on the latter. "Bordertown" takes the darkness of "Make the Dirt Stick" and combines it with the fury of "Long Way Around." Finally, "Dust Radio" is another excellent track which builds from a slow blues to hard rock where the power chords sound downright majestic at its closing. All told, Living With the Law would be a great start to an excellent career that like more heralded artists like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Duane Allman, and Lowell George, would end too soon. Although this is not my favorite Chris Whitley album (that distinction would go to War Crime Blues), I would recommend that newcomers start here and then work their way to other great works such as Din of Ecstasy, Dirt Floor, War Crime Blues, and Soft Dangerous Shores. Highly recommended.
Can't Add Any More.......2006-03-16
LIVING WITH THE LAW.......2005-11-28
I remember picking this record up some fouteen years ago and being blown away. This did not sound like a debut record. Whitley's tales of trials, tribulations and blues had a more authentic ring than your usual white bluesman. I think that the key to Whitley's success was that he did not merely try to copy the blues, but use it as a springboard to investigate his own ideas. Malcom Burns's ( a Daniel Lanois protoge) production sounds more like a windswept U2 outing than a Delta Blues recording. I think that was the genius of this record. It was of th past, the present and it loked into the future.
This was a record without a weak track. Even throwaway tracks like I FORGET YOU EVERYDAY or LOOK WHAT LOVE HAS DONE resonate after just couple of listens. Several songs are nothing less than immediate classics, including the title track, BIG SKY COUNTRY, POISON GIRL and PHONECALL FROM LEAVENWORTH.
After LWTL, Whitley set out on a career that jumped from genre to genre with mixed results. From DIN OF ECSTASY's metallic grunge to DIRT FLOOR's stark acoustic blues to ROCKET HOUSE's electronic treatments, Whitley was a restless artist who folowed his own muse. To someone who wants to explore his wrk I would recommend that they start with this release, then move on to his excellent compilation LONG WAY AROUND. From there if you like what you hear al of his work is worth exploring. It's an unfortunate cliche, but although the artist will be tragically missed, we are lucky to have his work to enjoy into the future.

From a True Tull Fan and Collector; Please Listen!!!.......2007-01-30
Tull fan.......2007-01-09
Watch which Version You Are Getting.......2006-10-21
This album fills in holes in Jethro Tull's early music, including tracks not a part of their earlier albums and commercially adding more music at a time when Tull was riding high on the success of 1971's "Aqualung." While some reviewers advise that you need not buy Tull's earliest recordings if you have "Living in the Past," I have all those recordings as well and do not believe this CD replaces them.
This CD offers a range of music, from hard rockers to mellow folk and Tull's signature renaissance-flavored folk and rock. "Living in the Past" offers a jazz-like piece with Ian Anderson's flute prominently displaced. It was the range of music Tull played that has always made Tull hard to fit into a particular genre. While they are often classified as hard rock because of songs like "Teacher" and "Sweet Dreams," as well as most of "Aqualung" and "War Child," Tull more likely fits into a genre of their own as they play music of all types and they seem to do so in a pattern of their own.
Like the true artists that they are, Jethro Tull created music as they felt moved to create. The result is creative and interesting music, often satirical, nearly always at least good. It may be tempting to think in retrospect that some of the music on this CD indicated that Jethro Tull was moving in a harder rock direction. However, as music from CDs such as "Minstrel in the Gallery" and "Songs from the Wood" indicates, Tull's style has always been eclectic, with hard rock being only one of their numerous styles.
This collection is a great introduction to a group that refuses standard classification and has only been recognized as one of music's greats in the last few years. While this CD is sometimes hard to find, I recommend this CD highly if you can find it and if you have liked what you've heard of Jethro Tull's non-commercial music.
Jam Sarnies? Say what?.......2006-06-27
1.Bouree
2.Teacher
3.locomotive breath(U.K. release)
4.Hymn 43(U.S. release)
They are all excellent songs but if you start to like Living In The Past you can get these songs on other great albums, which is really a much better way to hear them.
I first started listening to Jethro Tull in High School. Being part of the "band geek" community, my friends and I would spend any free time we had before or after school in the band room playing or listening to music.
I was particularly lucky enough to have a passionate music teacher who provided a kind of refuge for us in the big rehearsal room and connected offices. He would always try to inspire us by playing music that inspired him, and Jethro Tull music was some of that music. A friend and I would play their records on an old turntable I got in a relatives basement who had passed away.I also had an older friend who was really into them who would play them whenever I saw him.
This is one of the first albums I heard from them, along with "Songs from the Wood" and "Thick as a Brick"(besides Aqualung from classic rock radio).
This is the first music I ever heard with incredible ecclecticism in style and instrumentation, but not disparate sounding, from acoustic guitar and toy piano(Just trying to be),to heavy rock guitar and flute and tablas(Love Story).
From mandolin, whistle and strings(Christmas Story),
to a pop rock song with a clave and bass intro in 5/4(holy crap!).
From songs about the well told tale of touring woes(Driving Song), to discontent with holiday excess(Christmas Song).
From a simple thank you(Nursie), to cynical commentary on society(Wond'ring again).
From aimless lovelorn wandering (Singing all day),
to the beauty of realizing "that life is a long song, but the tune ends to soon for us all."
This album is filled with some of the best Tull songs from any of their various eras. These songs reflect Ian Anderson's songwriting before their extended song albums(Thick and Passion) changed their direction somewhat(not in a bad way!). These songs, excluding the two live cuts, are pop gems filled with exceptional musicianship, arrangements, idiosyncratic lyricism, weird isoteric british references(Up the 'pool), humor,touching sentiments, and total originality, each under four and a half minutes,some a minute and a half(Just trying to be, Nursie).
Ian's great singing and olde english, travelling minstrel acoustic guitar is all over them. And flute playing that ranges from little backround parts to huge in your face flurries, classical lines to Roland Kirk tinged blues licks, all the while infusing the flute into the band's sonic landscape so you never say to yourself "Oh there's that flute again".
This album really comes to life in the headphones, with great Beatles-esque stereo panning and intricate overdub layering. Once you start listening you're bound to find at least a handful of things sonically in each song that are amazing, like the far left and right panning of John Evans' piano and the acoustic guitar harmonizing in unison in "Witches Promise". Or the huge cavern reverb they throw on the very end of Martin Barre's guitar solo in "Sweet Dream". Just a couple of examples from a couple of songs!
If your already a fan, try listening to the album excluding the previously released tracks(at the time) and the live cuts. Then throw "Living in the Past" on top:
1.Living in the past
2.Love Story
3.Christmas Song
4.Driving Song
5.Sweet Dream
6.Singing all day
7.Witches Promise
8.Alive and well and living in
9.Just trying to be
10.Wond'ring again
11.Life is a long song
12.Up the 'pool
13.Dr. Bogenbroom
14.For later
15.Nursie
This is the only way I listen to these songs now. I find the other songs great but I've grown to love these songs as their own album, and the other songs become intrusive. I listen to "Locomotive Breath" and "Hymn 43" on Aqualung, "Teacher" with Benefit, "Bouree" on Stand Up, and the live tunes with the Live from Carnegie Hall '70 disc from the 25th Anniversary Set.
Amid the hysteria of the satisfying but radio-drained alpha male Aqualung riff which unfortunately went up the stairway to heaven and the Thick as a Brick "concept album" hype(albeit well deserved hype), this album proves what a great band and concept that Jethro Tull were based solely on the songwriting and execution of these relatively short pieces.
The thing about this set is it contains that intangible sense of place and time that great albums have. They have the ability to evoke images or feelings that belong specifically to an era I did'nt grow up in, or a place I've only seen second hand.
You'll never hear another album like this one. I still get goose-bumps when I put the headphones on!

A Great Canned heat CD.......2007-04-26
The first CD contains songs recorded in the studio, with my personal favorite being the Al Wilson song My Mistake..... mainly because this was the first time I have heard this song. All of the music is good and with the remastering this is a must have CD if you're a Heat fan.
Fantastic album, sub-optimal recording.......2007-02-14
Obviously this album is their magnum opus, towering over many other fine albums, including the under-appreciated Hallalulah. The problem is that like other BGO selections the sound quality while decent is not great, particularly on Going 'Up the Country'. The song is maybe the fifth best on this album, so it is not a crippling loss but being as how this is one of the top 10 albums by any band ever, the quality should match. Nice to get the full boogie, though; an improvement over the earlier CD releases.

The Tower Does It Best On Stage.......2003-09-18
listened to is still the best! One of the tightest Soul bands
to ever hit the stage proved their virtuoso chops with a fan-
tastic concert.
TOP was always known for having the "best horn section in
the business (to quote Paul Shaffer of Letterman fame)", but
the rhythm section has to get its props, too.
Arranger/trumpeter Greg Adams has a great solo on "What Is
Hip?", using his microphone as a mute, and lead trumpeter Mic
Gillette shows off his steely trumpet sound on the intro to
"You're Still a Young Man". Guitarist Bruce Conte thrills con-
stantly and his vocal on "Sparkling in the Sand" makes one won-
der why he wasn't featured more often as a singer.
The 23-plus minute "Knock Yourself Out" features a very
long but very inventive Lenny Pickett tenor solo, plus shorter
solos by the rest of the horns, including guest trumpeter Bill
Lamb. Organist Chester Thompson essays a funky solo using his
Clavinet and the ARP string synthesizer, backed by Conte, bassist extraordinaire Francis Rocco Prestia and one of the
best funk drummers, David Garibaldi.
This CD is a fine introduction to the sound of Tower Of
Power.

An Old Slice of Life, Started My love of Blues.......2005-08-23
What a Joy to have the Album again, I had tears of joy listening to Tracy belt out Mother Earth. Since that Album I have seen Tracy perform live many times and I bought her newer albums like I was addicted to her voice. More than any other blues performer, Tracy made me practice my blues guitar solos and sing. Now that album that started my love of blues is back in my arms. Sure I heard a lot of the Delta blues greats but Tracy made me fall in love with her voice and persona.. If I were given a choice of meeting Eric Clapton, B.B. King or Tracy Nelson I would choose Tracey Nelson hands down. Tracy has some very good other albums but this Album changed my life forever so as far as I am concerned it is my number one album.
If you are looking for perfection then this Album may disappoint you but if you are looking for a model record that changed the way white America looked at the Blues art form then this stands as a testament to that change. I finally have my album back that I missed and mourned for, for years. After all these years I can play Blues and sing some of the classic blues songs but not without Tracy there by my side pushing me on. Thank you for releasing this on CD, I am a teenager again and more in love with the blues than ever.
