Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars PC an RD fan.......2005-09-30

Rick's great voice and the CD's timing relative to the breakup of The Band makes this a treasure to own.

5 out of 5 stars Danko.......2004-02-07

as far as i know danko was the first to release a solo album. and i must say it sounds very much like a band album. it's also got quite a variety of well known names as guests.

my point?

none. it's a great record. the guitars are very robertson-esque but robbie only plays on one song (java blues). all members of the band appear. despite not seeing danko's name on any band song credits, i think just maybe he'd been practicing writing alone in a little bathroom. because there are some nice nice songs here. highlights....

"New Mexicoe" (track 3). At first i thought this would be a same ol same ol "G C" progression. it took some interesting turns (with that minor diminished chord.) He feels a lot about "new mexicoe" (maybe a reference to his hometown, Simcoe?) . you gotta love clapton's solo

"Sip The Wine" (track 5). i think this was his closest thing to a radio hit. you can see him slowly relaxing playing the tape of this for m.s. in the last waltz. maybe his most well written song.
