Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Why this album did not create more of a cultural splash upon its release is a mystery to me. As another reviewer notes, it is as great as "Music from Big Pink," while bearing almost no resemblance to that work.
Great music, lyrics, performances, and production (by Daniel Lanois of U2 fame) In my opinion, Robertson's first solo album is one of the greatest musical works of the 20th century (I include Hendrix, Gershwin, Lennon-McCartney, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Strauss, etc.). Finally, "Showdown at Big Sky" is one of the two greatest songs written about the nuclear sword of Damocles. (Pete Townshend's "Why did we fall for that?" being the other.)
His second solo effort, Storyville, is almost as good.
