As an aging hippie, this album brings back sooo many memories. The songs are also extremely relevant today since so many of Leon's early works were protest songs over the Vietnam war.
The CD itself doesn't have the best sound quality - hasn't been enhanced at all - but it is as good or better than the old vinyl album.
If you want to get an old hippie on his/her feet dancing, put on this CD and crank up the sound all the way.

A classic blues album you would never think it was made in the seventies. Leon Rissel was with "Mad dogs and Englishman" and hasn't altered his style at all. excellent!!!!

If you have never heard Asylum Choir II and you are a student of classic rock n roll then you HAVE to get it on CD. So many underground classics are on this CD like Straight Brother, the risque Salty Candy, Sweet Home Chicago, Learn How To Boogie, etc.
The CD has 5 bonus tracks that are questionable as to why those 5 were included (not the best choices in my opinion). But, the CD is excellent and unlike other artists of the era the songs are not dated.
This is a must have for all who love rock n roll.
Asylum Choir II + Bonus Tracks (1/2 of "Look Inside...") October 22, 2005

Asylum Choir II is a wonderful recording.
I've been through at least 3 vinyl LP's of this
since it came out and was thrilled when it got to CD!
Some of the words are a bit dated but the music is FUNKY
and ROCKIN' and Leon is in top form (Ray Charles on acid).
Also, this is one of my favorite PRODUCED albums ever.
The sound seperation and "stereo play" of the different
instruments and vocals is incredible and will DRAW you
in closer. This great CD should be studied for ANY serious
student of record production!
I also like the first recording of the Asylum Choir
named "Look In..." and would have gladly bought that CD
too but for SOME REASON they decided to pick SOME of the
better tracks of "Look In..." and use then as BONUS TRACKS
for this release. Missing are "Indian Style" and the
incredible "Thieves In The Choir" and a few others that
NEED TO BE HEARD! Why they were ommited is just crazy!
