Title: Great bluesy tribute
Product review: A great recording with a really interesting mix of music. None of it is particularly country-ish, all of it is professionally performed and produced (probably thanks to ace producer Colin Linden).I particularly like the Folsom Prison cover by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings (of which Linden is a member), which has a kind of Rolling Stones vibe. Loud and nasty. Maria Muldaur's Walking the Blues is another primo example of her recent blues recordings, Alvin Youngblood Hart can make you cry with his version of Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down (by Kris Kristofferson originally, if I'm not mistaken).Another review here is down on Harry Manx's Long Black Veil, but I disagree. Cash's version was much countrified. This take is not the least bit "Indian", but closer to the Celtic tradition (see the version by the Chieftains featuring Mick Jagger on vocal).Sleepy Labeef is great on Frankie's Man Johnny, as is everyone.Buy it!
