To hear them at their live best, listen to Rock of Ages or, of course, The Last Waltz. It’s a bit creaky and rushed but under the circumstances, and its historical aspect, it’s marvelous. Between the weather, the totally busted schedules and equipment problems it’s a wonder they sound as good as they do. Their playing is not on point or up to their usual standards, but it was an unusual concert. There is also a CD of The Band’s set at Woodstock, until recently an almost impossible find. I have listened to the original hundreds of time, on the original vinyl pressing, the first CD manufactured and the remastered CD from a few years ago, none match the power of this release. On a fine stereo system it sounds as if they are playing right beside you. It’s a sonic gem that only enhances their ensemble playing and singing. I think the original album sounds terrific but I admit the new mix brings the living room sound even closer.
Sometimes a remix can change the dynamics of the original, not here. The vinyl and CD have been remastered and mixed by Bob Clearmountain, I was apprehensive of this. It contains a portfolio of photographer Elliott Landy’s classic photos and a photo booklet with liner notes by music critic and author Anthony DeCurtis. Listening and exploring THE BAND 50th Anniversary Box Set.įirst of all, it’s a beautiful product keeping that rustic vibe of the original release. Glorious.Īlbums of the Year 2020 Andrew McKnight Bob Dylan Elton John Emma Rowlry Ethan Mentzer Every Echo folklore Gimme Some Truth Jason Isbell Jewel Box John Lennon Reunions Rough and Rowdy Ways Taylor Carson Taylor Swift Todd Wright Tom Petty Treasures In My Chest Wildflowers Wildflowers and All The Rest Look no further here it is in all its splendor, from Tumbleweed Connection to Wonderful Crazy Night. With all the glitz, glamour and showbiz of Sir Elton we overlook his body of work with Bernie Taupin. The latter being recored before his debut album Empty Sky, here you can hear the raw talent ready to explode. They show the wealth of talent of this remarkable artist making our hearts break more for his absence.Ī massive box set of deep cuts, rarities and never heard songs. What I cannot understand is how these unreleased songs stayed unreleased. The accompanied hardback book that comes with this set is a revelation of design, photos and ancedotes.Ī remastering of one Tom’s most beloved albums would have been sufficient but to add a whole other disc of outtakes and songs that didn’t make the cut, well that’s a beautiful thing. Love, Out of the Blue, I Know (I Know) and Steel and Glass are just some of these prizes. Uncovering these deep tracks and rarely heard works bring a clearer view to his body of work.

Procured by Yoko and Sean Lennon, these totally sonically remastered tracks represent the best of John’s solo work. A rustic unpacking of family secrets and treasures written and performed beautifully by one of America’s true troubadours. Fantastic.Įxploring a family tree has never sounded so good.

Full of hooks and heart and so many ear worms you may need a prescription. It Gets Easier is a spare anthem of truth to recovery.įour singer/songwriters form a project to present their gifts to the waiting arms of pop connoisseurs and raconteurs everywhere. Isbell’s greatest gift is opening his heart to the listener without losing it. A not expected acoustic cycle of songs with The Last Great American Dynasty being her best work… up to this point.Ī raw, intimate album burning with introspection, regret and triumph.
Brilliant.Ī beautiful, cleareyed journey into the storytelling charm of this gifted writer. Murder Most Foul, a 17 minute pop culture treatise on the JFK assassination alone is worth the price of admission. A masterpiece from our greatest songwriter/poet.
