 ...and now, the award for lamest CD title since "12/- A Pound," the winner
is.......

YOU MAY CALL ME ZIMMY  2CD  (Lucky LR003/4) Differdange, LUX  24 Jun 96
  Tracks: 15   Times: 54+/50    Source: Audience   Quality: Very Good
The second release from Lucky Records (following "Something's Happening
Here" Brussels '96) is another worthwhile addition to the ever-expanding list
of releases from Mr. Bob's European summer trek. Don't be put off by the
ridiculous title, as this show was one of the most unique of the whole tour.
What's not to like - an outstanding performance, clear and defined sound
with no discernible flaws other than wishing it was a little more upfront,
and an interesting set list with a FEW rarely played tunes. I find that this
shows does'nt grab you by the throat but, instead, slowly but surely lures
you into its charm with repeated listenings. The performances are outstanding
and take you through the full gamut of emotions - which is what any great
Bob show should do, right? Melodic, raucous, tender, tough, intimate, chaotic -
all these things describe the goings-on. Sit back, listen and enjoy the set:
Flood/ LayLady**/ Watchtower/ Pos4thSt/ MostLikelyGoYourWay**/ Silvio/
Johanna**/ Masters/ BabyBlue**/ God Knows/ RingThemBells**/ 7Days**/
NewNewMinglewoodBlues**/ Blowin'In**/ Rainy Day. Bonus points for the
nice performances of the rarely played** among the above, which keep the
interest level high. Appreciation for the show grows with each listen - but
what else is new?
