Negative Positive
Title: Woody's great, but Bragg and Wilco need to get it together.
Review: In "Blood of the Lamb" Woody writes: "Have you learnt to love your neighbors? Of all colors, creeds and kinds? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? I've learnt to love my peoples of all colors, creeds and kinds. I'm all washed in the blood of that lamb."Apparently, Bragg and Wilco can't say the same even though they sing the lyrics. The hard feelings they developed during the cut of the first alblum can be heard on this alblum. Most of these songs are the out-takes from the first session that they fought over including on the first alblum. This taints and limits the CD in my mind.On Woody's deathbed (just before succumbing to Huntington's Disease) he was asked what religion he was. Guthrie replied "all." When told he couldn't answer that way, Woody said "all or none." Bragg and Wilco would do well to practice the message that Woody wrote and sang about all his life.
Is the review positive or negative?
