Been a fan since the 1970's, have all his studio albums, even the Geffen recordings. At first it's difficult to appreciate, with forced low-fi sound, aka 78's, great songs and Neil's unmistakable vocals makes this recording only for the empathetic among us. Probably recorded in a hi-tech modern studio & mixed to sound ultra low-tech, it doesn't work. Robert Johnson's original recordings sound from their time, but in 2014 nearly 100 years later? No. Would loved to hear this as a clear 21st century record, great songs. Shame. Rating 2.00. |
