Title: Depends on what you like
Product review: If the Beatles had made this album, you would think "The Beatles have put some southern rock/blues into their sound". If the Allman Brothers Band had put out this album, you would think "Wow, this is a really hip, modern sound". Unfortunately, this is a North Mississippi Allstars album.Polaris heralds a new direction for this band - a smoother, quieter direction. This is far from the raw, blues-rock of Shake Hands With Shorty or 51 Phantom. This is a more pacified Allstars. Gone is the Marshall stack cranked up to 11; in are layered harmonies and strings.Again, it depends on what you like. Shorty and Phantom will continue to get loud plays on my CD player; Polaris will not. What can I say? I like my Allstars loud and raw.
