i love Tusk..
I'm getting ready to watch some March Madness - go Oklahoma State (my team in the office pool), and I'll be listening to the remastered Tusk album during the games. ( I listen to music while watching sports.. can't get into commentators).
Tusk. I loved this record from the first time I heard it. It was something that I didn't expect at all (after Rumours), and it instantly became a part of my world.. My love for this band was elevated with Tusk... It was all that I listened to.. I was in college and I carried the album everywhere and played it nonstop. I was one of those fans that did take Lindsey's left turn and understood it, and fell in love with Tusk. It remains one of my favorite records.
anyways, the music sounds better than ever.. and it is well worth the $$$... This is like my 5th Tusk purchase. I first bought the album (bought 2) , then the cassette, then the CD, and now the remaster. I sure would love to hear this one on DVD-audio.
but on the downside. :-(
not too crazy about the outtakes, demos disc. I loved a couple - Beautiful Child and Farmer's Daughter.. but i didn't really need 3 I Know I'm Not Wrongs. I listened to disc 2 once, and went back to listening to disc one. The band definitely selected the best versions for the album. imho.. I know I'll wander back to disc 2, and will like it better the second time, but now I'm enjoying the Tusk record again.
I'm also a little (just a little) sore at the fact that I know this band must have some original songs they never released but recorded during this time period.. 3 songwriters and this is it.. I just know there has to be some hidden treasures out there..
anyways.. Tusk sounds amazing. Someone said that they made a mix of the Tusk album and included Red Rover.. I can see how it fits.. I can also see how a few other songs from Say You Will would fit into Tusk and vice versa. .
Sara just came on. No edit! DVD audio of Tusk , please. :-)
