 "A Few Good Songs" May 18, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My Morning Jacket's take on "It Makes No Difference" may well be worth the cost of the album, and the body of work captured in the disc validates the powerful and influential song writing of The Band. Unfortunately, the disc is a collection of artists whose interpretations may find you fumbling quickly for the skip button as the performances range from pleasant, to dull, and then irritating. Now you'll have an incentive to sit down and learn how to create a play list for your player.

The Band is my all-time favorite rock group and believe them to be one of the best ever so for other artists to attempt to reinterpret the Band's music is an act of courage -- or insanity. Overall the songs were well recreated but none rise to the quality of the original. The Band's unique and brilliant talents couldn't possibly be matched. Having said this, I'm glad that I bought the CD and enjoy it.

 Great Trubite Album March 14, 2007

This is the best tribute album I've heard. A great appreciation of one of the best bands of all time. Good Artists picked for this album and they all invoked the spirit of The Band. Just made me realize again what artists all the members of The Band were. Robbie Robertson's lyrics are as amazing today as they were many years ago. Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Released by Jack Johnson and Alo brought tears to my eyes.
Some great covers March 10, 2007

There are 2 standouts in this potpourri. They are MY MORNING JACKET & THE ROCHES. The songs are "Makes No Difference" & "Acadian Driftwood". These 2 are worth the disc. Although the other covers are good, they just don't seem to have that breath of inspiration. These 2 bands add something to the songs that make tributes worth checking out. They don't rework the song, they deliver the song in their own style while paying tribute to a group of musicians who were true pioneers in incredible songwriting.
All in all, this is a great tribute with some great songwriters and musicians in their own rite. But I feel it is the above 2 bands who really ran with this project and delivered what THE BAND did over 3 decades ago.
