Title: "B+" for effort, "D" for execution
Review: Many listeners are just so thankful that The Band have received this tribute that they're afraid to criticize it. The Band had three things going for them: great songs, great musicians, great singers. So here we have the songs, but too many of them come from the second album. The forgotten gems from the later records remain forgotten. I'd like to hear someone like James Taylor do "The Moon Struck One", or hear Bruce Hornsby do "Saga of Pepote Rouge" or hear someone perform "Livin' In A Dream." Next, a lot of the music is too polite. They're afraid to rearrange the songs (for example, "Acadian Driftwood"). Third, fully half of these cover versions feature very weak vocals. I'm sorry, "Whispering Pines" is a beautiful song and Jakob Dylan doesn't have the vocal chops for it. I can think five other versions of "I Shall Be Released" that are better than this one, and about the same number of cover versions of "The Weight" that are better than the one included here.
