Stuart Hamm
The Urge
The Story
"The Urge" is the first Stuart Hamm album with a few vocal tracks and a few tracks ("Lone Star" and "Our Dreams") featuring Eric Johnson on guitar. "The Urge" includes bassist Hamm's unique rendition of the "Linus And Lucy (The Peanuts Theme" in the live bass solo "Quahogs Anyone?", recorded in Santa Barbara on September 27, 1990. Also making contributions on guitar are Buzzy Feiten, Harry K. Cody, Dawayne Bailey and Steve Recker. This CD is worth picking up for "Lone Star" and Hamm's live solo, at the very least.
