From the Muddy Banks of the Wishka by Nirvana

Two years after the untimely demise of Nirvana’s front man, Kurt Cobain, surviving band members Krist Noveselic and Dave Grohl came together in order to release an album filled with some of Nirvana’s top performances. The songs chosen for the compilation spanned the band’s entire career, from the low budgeted “Bleach” to the punk inspired “Insesticide”.
Each track on the album is solid, and despite the fact that the performances spanned across many concerts over the course of their career, it is difficult to tell where one track ends and the next begins. You could almost be fooled into believing you have been treated to one of Nirvana’s very last performances.
Unlike some live albums where die hard fans are more likely to enjoy the album, “From the Muddy Banks of the Wishka” would appeal to true Nirvana fans as well as the more casual music fan.

I think Nirvana’s OK, but apparently not enough to have bought any CD’s or download any tracks. Maybe I will try this one!
I used to LOVE Nirvana. I don’t get to listen to much music now though except for what Aurora is listening to.
