Title: To the artists, I'm sorry but...
Review: These seem like very heartfelt renditions. I'm sure the artists on this tribute all love Uncle Tupelo as much as I do. If I had enough musical talent, I'd cover Uncle Tupelo too. But let's be honest here, nobody's going to do these songs as well as the band that wrote them.I enjoy hearing new takes on old great songs. And I've listened to this album several times. I really want to love it. There are a couple of nice arrangements on this album--"Graveyard Shift" by Anna Fermin & the Trigger Gospel and "Black Eye" by Jason Wilber are two of my favorites--but none of them come close to touching the originals. If the songs weren't so great to begin with, this album would be one star. And when I listen to it, I find myself wanting--no, NEEDING--to listen to the originals.
