I'm not down on DA..DD. He's a good player and all. And if you're talking about The earth,Small Dog & a Chicken--or whatever TF that album was-- I recall it being rather lame. But it WAS a long time ago and I never gave it much time (for prior reasons,IMO). THe band has never equalled the tunesmanship of their records with Gary. Plain & Simple. Tho that last studio release came close here & there. Why? Cuz it had moments of their old sound and writing style. But it did seem that the touring has finally worn Kronin's voice down. Pity. T
