Customer Reviews:

The Band plays on...and you should be listening........2005-07-27

I've had a couple of friends who ended up getting into The Band because of this boxset. It might not have "everything" a diehard could hope for, but it's more than a satisfactory offering for a newcomer IMO. I'll dock it one star for some of the "un-rare rarities" on disc 3, but that shouldn't have much bearing on the average listener. If you haven't heard much from The Band, this boxset is a good starting point. By the end of the third disc, part of you will feel like you've known 'em all along...like others have said, "Americana" indeed. Highly recommended.

A fine retrospective collection........2004-08-26

You get all the great Band songs here, plus a third cd with some rocking rarities like Slippin and Slidin. I'm glad they have the songs from the Last Waltz (Evangeline and The Weight in particular) included here. When I'm in the mood for The Last Waltz, I watch the film. Now I can hear those songs independently without buying that cd. My only complaint is that Jawbone, one of my favorite Band songs, from the second album, isn't included. These guys were great; if you're not familiar with their music, it's your loss. True Americana.

Solid but flawed retrospective.......2003-04-26

As an introduction to the Band, that paradox of a group (a rootsy Americana group from the psychadelic 60's, made up of mostly Canadians) with a confusing name, the boxed set Across the Great Divide works pretty well. The first two discs concentrate on the Band's first recording career (I'll be ignoring the late-Eighties comeback), and lean mostly on the first two albums, Music from Big Pink and The Band. The song selection is well done, and you get a good sense of the Band's different singers, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel, and Rick Danko. Plus, you get the classics "Across the Great Divide", "I Shall Be Released", "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", as well as some late-career gems.

The main problem I have with the album is the third disc, containing rarities. This has some good songs, like some pre-Band Hawks recordings and some Last Waltz material. The only problem I have with it is that some of it doesn't qualify as rare- the Last Waltz stuff is not rare at all and some of the other tracks are available in other forms on the Basement Tapes collection. The Last Waltz is important to the legend of the Band, and should be sequenced in a way that makes it more of a part of their history. As it is, it resides at the end of the third disc, after all the rarities. It seems like a small quibble, but a confusing picture is painted as a result.

Still, not a bad set, and a most enjoyable listen and introduction to the group.

GREAT!!!!.......2002-07-27

I bought this about 2 years ago. I realize that most if not all these tunes can be found on the new digitally remastered versions of the original albums, but the rare tracks are what makes this essential. 'He Don't Know You' is worth the price alone. What a tune.

If you like early Lucinda Williams - this is for you!!.......2005-10-30

Linda McLean lives in Northern Ontario; a rough-hewn Lucinda Williams, with taut songs full of fire and emotion not easily forgotten. Her debut (Betty's Room) was distributed by Rounder Europe to critical success (it is not available in North America at the moment, maybe on Bongo Beat next year).

Now, with her new album, we're proud to introduce this great Canadian roots artist to North America and beyond. Produced by roots veteran John Whynot (Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, etc), No Language is an impressive showcase of strong songs and emotive singing. There has been a lot of love and attention paid to craft and feeling; recorded deep in the Muskoka woods at Linda's home studio (that lake she's swimming in on the cover is her back yard) with the full panorama of nature for inspiration.

"Music is always with me; even while I studied dance and theatre, I sang songs for friends, covers of the folk songs I'd learned as a child mostly, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. At school I was most interested in language, and studied English literature, drama and poetry. And while I was a professional actor and an acting teacher, I studied music, piano, voice, composition, ear training. Listening to classical music is what really opened my ears, especially J.S.Bach and Gustav Mahler. All of these experiences contribute to the songwriting I do now."

"I opened the doors to my songwriting and the first person I found behind them was my partner. Andy had given up writing songs years before, but when he started helping me with arrangements on a few of my songs, we both realized that the process was bringing out the best in both of us. We started working together; the result is the songs on Betty's Room and No Language. We keep each other digging deeper, raising the bar... We each come in with ideas and the ideas grow as we experiment around chord changes and melodies. Most often I will go off with a melody we've come to love and write the lyrics. Sometimes a lyrical hook will come right with the melody. I've come to understand each song has its own nature. Some are ready and crystal clear, some songs are so quiet I have to listen really hard and long to hear them. I've got to let myself be quiet to hear what the song wants to say."

Linda McLean has been a well-kept secret with her fellow musicians and fans in the UK and Europe - now Canada and the rest of North America can experience a new voice on the roots scene, powerful, positive and inspirational.

Previous CD, Betty's Room, was released by Rounder in Europe to critical acclaim, this CD is on Bongo Beat worldwide.

* Produced by John Whynot (Blue Rodeo, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Colin Linden, Sue Foley, Kathleen Edwards, Lucinda Williams, etc)

* Co-written & guitars by Andy McLean (The Tenants, Double Dare, Intrepid Records, NXNE)

* Musicians on the cd have played with Jann Arden, Sarah Harmer, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, etc..

Album Description

Musical humorist, serious vocalist, Kacey Jones, deftly mixes clever commentary with flat-out great sound on this, her first-ever, LIVE solo CD. Recorded before a sold-out crowd at the legendary Bluebird Cafe' in Nashville, here's what co-producer and engineer, Vaughn Skow, has to say: "I've recorded many LIVE albums, but never one like this. No words can adequately describe the manner in which Kacey dominated the room that night. It was truly electric and proves, once again, that a great entertainer needs no more than an acoustic guitar and a microphone to produce magic." Four bonus studio tracks round out this fabulous FUN-filled evening with Miss Jones.
