Give out but don't give up - the original Memphis recordings

"Set aside all romantic notions about unfinished and unreleased albums: most scrapped albums are shelved because they're not very good. Certainly, that's the case with the Original Memphis Recordings of Give Out But Don't Give Up, the 1994 album that found Primal Scream reckoning with the American South without considering what may lie beneath the surface ... Listening to this set, it's little wonder Alan McGee decided to throw money at George Drakoulias to get this to sound a little bit like the Black Crowes: it was the only way to salvage the money, time, and effort Creation and Primal Scream spent on this misguided folly".
