The eigth Hot Tuna album, a live recording released just before the band broke up for a long period.
2007 digitally remastered reissue of this 1978 album, originally a two LP set, from Hot Tuna, the Jefferson Airplane offshoot band led by JS members Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. 14 tracks including 'Winnin' Boy Blues', 'I Wish You Would' and 'Serpent Of Dreams'.
"Double Dose" is a live album originally released as a double album in 1977. Hot Tuna led by former Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Cassidy had released a string of fine bluesy, but still melodic albums during the early 1970's and this album marked the end of the band's first period. A new studio album would not be released until 1991. The early Tuna albums contained primarily acoustic bluesy tunes, but later they changed their style into heavier blues-rock. This album shows both sides of the group. Th album starting off with a short set of acoustic songs of which "Whining Boy Blues" and "Embroyonic Journey" reveal Kaukonen as a versatile guitar virtuoso.
Among the heavier electric songs well-known classics like "I Wish You Would", "Talking `Bout You" and "I Can't Be Satisfied" can be found, and though they're all well performed, it's Kaukonen's original songs that make this a really great live album. Though he is obviously heavily inspired by the blues, his songwriting style often shows elements of folk-music, which give his songs a more melodic and poetic approach.
On this album "Genesis" is an outstanding example of this; but also "Serpent of Dreams", "I See the Light" and "Watch the North Wind" stand out...M. Vindberg
