We've Got a Live One Here
Expert musicianship, a diverse repertoire, and an active sense  of humor become an explosive mixture in the hands of the Airmen.  Recorded during a 1976 tour of England,Live Oneshows the  genre-twisting band in all its maniacal glory. Western swing standards,  rockabilly romps, R&B; chestnuts, and a rash of truck-driving songs all  find their way into the potent blend, not to mention their offbeat,  drug-addled originals. Bill Kirchen's nifty guitar work, Andy Stein's  punchy fiddle, and Bobby Black's pedal-steel forays provide the meat:  no matter how goofy it gets, their formidable musical chops keep it all  together.--Marc Greilsamer
