LIVE AND LET LIVE

Rounder  1988

Notes:"Bobby King is from Lake Charles, Louisiana.  From early childhood he sang in his father's church--the Pleasant Valley Congregation-- with his twelve brothers and sisters."
"Terry had arrived in L.A. from Vicksburg, Mississippi and was writing rhythm and blues songs for Louis Jordan and others."
"Bobby and Terry are veterans  of the soul highway--they never got rich or famous, but experience has deepened and strengthened their music."

Great one rok2td! Ry Cooder's secret weapon, that duo. For hardcore audiophiles, there was a Terry Evans solo album on Audioquest Records.

The older blues musicians recordings sound great on LPs’, while the cd versions have massive hiss, weak bass, and sound terrible.
so many of my favorites, I ripped to my computer, then burned to CDs. I love the little ticks & pops when playing the cd.
