Customer Reviews:

Nice rhythm and blues........2002-03-06

With some brilliant songs by guest musicians George Harrison, Sam Brown, Stereophonics, Eric Bibb, Chris Difford, Mick Hucknall, Taj Mahal and Eric Clapton. As it says in the sleeve notes: 'For optimum results play as loudly as possible in comfortable environments.'
Just don't annoy the guests and neighbours.

A Superior Album.......2002-02-08

This is a wonderful mix of Rhythm & Blues songs by top artists and musicians, with a couple of odd (but good ones) thrown in. George Harrison's "Horse To The Water" is a great one and a wonderful final song for him (recorded aprox. two months before his death). The John Lennon and Bob Dylan influence is obvious, but it is definitely George's! Eric Clapton is also great with "What Would I Do Without You." The piano and guitar work on the album stands out as superior! I would recommend this CD to anyone with an appreciation for good, solid Rhythm & Blues music! Get it while it lasts & sit back and listen!

An original mix!.......2002-02-04

OK, this is an odd mix! but some of the tracks are great! It has everything from the blues to Ska! However, the track which will gain most attention is George Harrison's. Harrison's voice sounds in faltering shape! The Eric Clapton is a good track, and there are many gems in this album!

One great George Harrison songs and 21 other tracks to skip.......2002-01-12

This is an interesting last statement for Harrison--he's a bit angry and rocking. The song basically sounds like a Cloud Nine-era Harrison track (a great one), but the rest of the disc does nothing for me. A bunch of swing [junk]. Even some of my favorite artists (Joe Strummer, Van Morrison) are not at their best here.
