And The Staples Singers version of Hard Rain is pretty great too. Quote

medjuck Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Oh, I heard it on a Spotify playlist which (checking on Amazon) overlaps a lot with the cd. Perhaps my favorite record along with KOB and Ellington Indigoes. Edited June 18, 2020 by medjuck Quote
duaneiac Posted June 20, 2020 Report Posted June 20, 2020 An okay album if one is willing to overlook its flaws. First off -- enough with the singing partners This time out it's every one from Ray Price to Merle Haggard and from Sheryl Crow to Snoop Dogg. Second -- family loyalty is fine to a point, Willie, but . . . to put it kindly, your boys might be better suited to pursuits other than music. If one has ever wondered what country music sung by a leprechaun might sound like, Lukas Nelson might just satisfy your curiosity. He appears on 9 of this CD's 14 songs. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mr. Nelson sounds most at home on familiar old tunes such as "My Window Faces The South" and "Home In San Antone", but here he also covers songs by Tom Waits and Eddie Vedder. Easily the best track on the album is the final one, kind of a bonus track. Completely different recording session with a different band. Not quite reaching Johnny Cash "Hurt" level, but a more stripped down album like this track would be excellent! Quote
