In 2004, Water Records reissued Accidentally Born in New Orleans for
the first time on CD, some 31 years after its initial release on
Warner Bros. Credit must be given to Water for the care that was put
into this project via remastered tracks and new and informative liner
notes by Ian Wallace. Unfortunately, the music itself hasn't improved
with age. What could have been an astounding collaboration between
British blues granddaddy Alexis Korner and Snape, featuring CCS slide
guitarist Peter Thorup and former King Crimson members Mel Collins,
Ian Wallace, and Boz Burrell, never gets up to speed. The musicians
fail to match the emotional fervor that tracks like "One Scotch, One
Bourbon, One Beer" or "Rock Me" demand, while the remaining tunes
definitely needed to be brightened up. Part of what makes this date so
frustrating are the few shining moments that provide a window into
what could have been. For instance, the overdubbed horn section in the
middle of "Country Shoes" begins to boil with a dynamic blend of R&B
and free jazz, before the tune inexplicably droops into generic hard
rock filler. Evidently the chemistry of the band's short existence was
lost somewhere between the initial tracks recorded in San Francisco
and the finishing touches applied in a London studio with a smattering
of special guests who included Steve Marriott, Zoot Money, Patto
members Ollie Halsall and Mike Patto, and keyboardist Tim Hinkley, who
was working at the time with Alvin Lee and Humble Pie. With that kind
of talent, you would have expected more from this aggregation than the
flat production and the overall forgettable arrangements.
