DESCRIPTION:
Ross once told me he never should have disbanded Lucky Dog. This priceless archival CD gives only a hint of why he was right about that. Live, in the early 80s, they played and you danced . . . to the end of love. Ross at his best was a uniquely sublime musician, and the best I ever heard from him was always live. In his last few years he played superb R&R/R&B etc. at the St Andrews Pub with The Useful Members of Society - his solos on Neil Young's On The Beach in particular were as inspired, innovative and expressive as any electric guitar of that kind ever played by anyone ever, anywhere; and with his duos, trios and quartets at the hole in the wall venue of Claypots in Barkly Street St Kilda around the same time, his ineffably ethereal extemporisations on his own original themes were indescribably transporting. At times it was packed there, and once, at the end of the night, I think there might have been no one there but me.
