Eye of the Storm/Hurry Sundown
Dear fellow Outlaw fans. For the most part, the first eight tracks of "In The Eye Of The Storm" are mixed fairly well. When listening to the original album, I was quickly reminded this was not one of the better produced efforts to begin with. However, track 9. "I'll Be Leaving Soon", which is one of my favorite tracks was not remastered well at all. Once the acoustic guitar opening fades and the song starts to kick at the 53-55 second mark, you can tell an album was used as the reccording source. Listen for the bump sound.
The Hurry Sundown tracks are just fine. All in all, the CD would be a good addition to any Outlaw fan's collection. But it would still be nice if the original masters were used for "In The Eye of The Storm" and "Playin To Win". To any record label thinking of issuing " The Outlaws, Los Hombres Malo 1982 release in the future, do us fans a favor. Please use the original Arista master tapes!
