I'd suggest 'It Still Moves' or 'At Dawn'

It Still Moves

Acoustic Citsuoca

I started with Z and went backwards. It worked out good for me. All their albums sound so different I would even go with getting two at once. Pretty soon you'll find yourself grabbing up everything you can get with MMJ on it anyway.

The compilation had the song Gideon on it. I totally dig it, so this is good info. Thanks and hope for more.

Hell fist, just buy everything you can find and contact John Conaway here (user=conaway) for access to a fine ftp collection of live gems

That's wouldn't be a bad idea, if I could afford such an endeavor. I will be picking up "It still moves" at my next port visit, it seems to be a re-occuring suggestion, along with "At Dawn".
The trouble is finding them in foreign countries. I was lucky when we pulled into Thailand and I found a cool shop full of crazy live CD's I had never seen before. But I may not have the same luck in the next place (where ever the hell that is going to be). Thanks for all the suggestions...

I basically started on in order: At Dawn, Z, The Tennesee Fire, It Still Moves

But Z was the first I really got to know intimately, and I only knew At Dawn casually, but now I'm religiously in love with them all, and them some (b-sides, ect.)

good looks on this MMJ F. I'm gonna send Conaway a message right now.

and PS, monkey fist, all the studio albums are awsome, i say grab whichever album presents itself to you first. you won't be dissapointed.

the tennessee fire is one that will have to grow you on. Even myself at first did not quite "get it". It's up there for one of my favorite albums of all time, but strangly I did not like it at first.

ChiefOKONO · May 22, 2006, 04:40 PM

i'd first start with It Still Moves.

Hey Fist, don't forget "Chocolate and Ice" so you can have the epic "Cobra"!
