Has anyone else heard this yet? I just listened to it today and being a huge fan of the Band, it's not that bad. Obviously the songs are not the same as The Band - I don't think anyone will be able to top them - but it is interesting to hear other artists' takes on the many great songs that the Band produced. Here's the track listing and the artist's who perform each song:
1. I Shall Be Released -- Jack Johnson
2. The Weight -- Lee Ann Womack
3. It Makes No Difference -- My Morning Jacket
4. When I Paint My Masterpiece -- Josh Turner
5. Unfaithful Servant -- Roseanne Cash
6. Rockin' Chair -- Death Cab for Cutie
7. King Harvest -- Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers
8. Whispering Pines -- Jakob Dylan w/ Lizz Wright
9. Chest Fever -- Widespread Panic
10. Lookout Cleveland -- Jackie Greene
11. This Wheel's on Fire -- Guster
12. Up on Cripple Creek -- Gomez
13. Stage Fright -- Steve Reynolds
14. Night They Drove Old Dixie Down -- Allman Bros. Band
15. Rag Mama Rag -- Blues Traveler
16. Life Is A Carnival -- Trevor Hall
17. Acadian Driftwood -- The Roches
Some highlights for me:
**MMJ's version of "It Makes No Difference" - amazing!!
**Widespred Panic's version of Chest Fever is interesting, you definately know it's Panic
**Bruce Hornsby's version of King Harvest is very different for the original but enjoyable.
There are a lot of good tracks so give it a listen.
