The Ducks - High Flyin' LP
In 1977, Neil Young impulsively joined a fledgling band called the Ducks. Forty-five years later, he compiled a Ducks album from a mobile recording truck tape he had made at the time. The Ducks were a bar band in the same way NRBQ were a bar band -- their mix of country rock, blues, and tough, straight-ahead rock & roll was rooted in the classics without getting mired in clichés. While they had good, unpretentious fun on-stage, they also had impressive chops and a catalog of fine material, and the energy of seeing a group this good in a funky, intimate setting was not lost on their audiences.
