The Final Tour
Overview
The CD comprises 20 tracks. All tracks were recorded live. Tracks 1 - 16 were recorded on 5 Nov 1994 at McCabe's Guitar Shop, Santa Monica and form a very cohesive picture of a live show, some of Ted's linking patter has been left in to good effect, particularly in setting the scene for All I Have To Offer You Is Me. Tracks 17 - 19 were recorded a month earlier and, the sleeve notes say, "Form a semi-biographical suite about his youth." It looks more like filler to me but I can live with that, especially when it's as good as Missin' Mississippi. The final track is not so explicable and I'm afraid that when my CD player gets to A Thing Called Love I find myself reaching for the auto changer. Overall though, an essential CD for every Hawkins fan.
