I just realized that I haven’t posted a track from one of my favorite bands in over 6 months. This Legendary Jim Ruiz Group song was released on a compilation cd for a radio station. Unfortunately, I only got the one song as a .wav file so I don’t know which radio station it was that put the compilation out. This is a great version of “Minneapolis” where the band plays along to a drum machine. I’m not sure if any other songs exist from this session, but I keep hoping I’ll come across them if they do.

Thanks for this lovely live version of “Minneapolis.” Don’t know if you remember me, but we talked on this blog around a year ago as we both are big fans of the Legendary Jim Ruiz Group. I still haven’t found a copy of Rena & Her Men’s 7-inch though. I fear that will never happen. Great pity!
Say, do you know the song “Ferrol, Spain” by Benito? It’s on “Montecarlo,” a compilation released by Elefant Records. Can’t find any info on this act and they so sound like the LJRG. I could be wrong though. Still as long as I don’t know for sure I keep wondering. So I was hoping you’d know…
Take care 🙂
