Slagged especially by people who haven't listened to it or only heard a 10 second snippet - but thats what passes for opinion these days.
It probably did not need to be a double CD, however...
I think Lou's wife told him to do this, she's a pop culture mastermind and knows this will keep in him in the public eye.
And to anyone who says Lou hasn't done anything value since the 70's, if you haven't listened to his CD with his wife recorded at The STone then you don't know what you are talking about.
