Editorial Reviews

It likely took the passing of former Beatle George Harrison, whose "Horse to the Water" here is his last recorded song, to see this lovable shaggy dog of a tribute album get the attention that might have otherwise eluded it. Veteran Squeeze pianist Jools Holland gathers three generations of stellar pals (ranging from Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton to Joe Strummer and Stereophonics) and cobbles together this loosely formatted nod to rock's swing band and R&B roots. With his front-and-center barrelhouse boogie backed by brass and strings, Holland collaborates on a healthy slate of originals, seasoned with standards from Jonny Mercer to Lennon/McCartney. The results are occasionally throwaways (Strummer's loopy "Return of the Blues Cowboy," Paul Weller's tepid cover of Billy Preston's "Will It Go 'Round in Circles"), but the surprises are sometimes as sublime as they are pleasantly revealing. Marc Almond, Jamiroquai, and (especially) John Cale give cannily Vegas-lounge-ready performances; Suggs revives Madness's breezy, blue-beat sense of fun; and vets Dr. John, Van Morrison, and Taj Mahal ably reinforce their legends. Holland may have missed the hipster-retro-revival wave by a year or two, but this album eschews trend-riding in favor of Holland's heartfelt musical passions. --Jerry McCulley
