Summary: still smooth
Comment: I was fortunate enough to hear the band perform several times both in New York and Philadelphia. I was very pleased with the audio quality, the presentation was nice. Most important to me is it is an accurate testament to a group I loved. This gives me the essentials I wanted without spending an absurd price.

Summary: A Band Before Its Time
Comment: The Blues Project was one of the most influential groups of their time, brief though it was. Upon seeing them in San Francisco, Grace Slick, then with the Great Society, was amazed at how professional and accomplished they were, in contrast to to the nascent psychedelic music scene then developing. They brought the various strains of blues, folk, jazz and r&B together, which was a powerful eclectic approach for the year 1966.
The band is 5 stars, this collection while very good is not the best possible representation of the group. They left off some of the Cafe AuGo Go tracks( they did use alternative versions) and the live tracks from Town Hall, like Electric Flute Thing, and included some later material that is far from the bands best. Overall, it is the best collection currently available, has all of the monumental Projections album, improved sound on many of the songs from their first cd issues and a nice booklet/history of the band. The tragedy of the Blues Project is that they could not benefit from the pioneering music they had made or their influence on the music scene, as their classic lineup broke apart before the Monterey Pop Festival, and they missed the opportunity to become as well known as they deserved.

Summary: Where have you been?
Comment: Projections was an album my friend and I listened to constantly when it came out...my friend still has the LP (mine, though he claims it's his!) and I was glad to buy this, though the price I feel is a bit high; but Projections makes up most of the second disc in this set. Danny Kalb had the chops way back then...then he pulled a Syd Barrett and disappeared, another victim of depression.
Some good recordings, some rough ones, but the music is still very, very, listenable after all these years.

Summary: Disappointed to say the least
Comment: First, I purchased this CD based on one of the Blue's Project's hit songs, "The Flute Thing", which I remember from the 60's. Watching this group, announced by Paul Simon on the DVD "Monterey Pop", I was transported back to 1967. After searching several Blues Project's CD compilations, I chose Anthology. I thought maybe the seller actually sent the wrong CD! The music was, well, really inferior, almost Monkee-like. I don't like to bash anything from the 60's, my era, but this album should be titled "The Worst of the Blues Project". If they can title an album by Jefferson Airplane as such, it can't be too bad for the Blues Project. All in all, this music sounds like it is being played by a high school garage band. The vocals are just not worth listening to, I feel bad about writing this, but be warned, if you are expecting really good blues, or even something that sounds like jazz (which is really what The Flute Thing is) then, buy some other CD...

Summary: No time like the wrong time--and it's the wrong time to listen to this
Comment: I recently downloaded a few Al Kooper tracks from Itunes and waxed sentimental for what I thought I remembered hearing back in 1967 when I saw The Blues Project live. Sorry, you can't go home again, especially if home is a band that had identity problems and poor production. The blues tracks are amateurish by any standard. Let me correct that: they are painful to listen to. The Steve Katz songs perhaps could be revived by an American Idol wannabe on his way down the schmaltz ladder. There are a few intresting tracks that survive. I only wish that this had been up on Itunes so I could have downloaded those @ 99 cents per until I realized that it was time to quit.

Editorial Reviews:

The very things that made the Blues Project one of the most phenomenal bands of the '60s are the same things that made the band a short-lived one. Drawing on a crazy quilt of influences--including folk, pop, jazz, psychedelia, and, yes, blues--the band was known to perform scorching versions of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf classics one minute, then turn around and do mellow contemporary tunes by the likes of Donovan and Patrick Sky the next. A band whose onstage energy was boundless, their studio work didn't always come across quite as well, and sharply divided attitudes about approach and repertoire (plus assorted personal problems) eventually sundered the band. Anthology is the best available sampling of the group's oeuvre, collecting material from their albums on Verve and Capitol and tossing in some rare singles, solo material, and previously unreleased tracks for good measure. You don't often hear the Blues Project mentioned in reverent tones, as are other, similar acts of the era, and that's too bad. This set makes a case for their veneration. --Daniel Durchholz
