 Rating:  - Just what the doctor orderedI'm in total agreement with the previous reviewers, if listening to this doesn't make you feel better about life, get someone to check your pulse.

This album, his solo debut, is one of the great lost albums. It is broadly a Band-like sound with strong hints of the cajun groove and R&B rhythms that are are strong elements in his musical background. The influence of the Band on this album is considerable with Levon Helm, Garth Hudson and Rick Danko all in attendance, as well as an array of Butterfield Blues Band members. The songs are gentle, subtle and they sneak their way into your consciousness slowly and then take a tenacious hold. And although it all sounds very laid-back (Let Yourself Go ... Read More: |
