"Great CD.If you are any kind of Levon fan in his time with "The Band," this is a rare treat. An entire album of Levon in fantastic voice, well chosen songs and players bring vibrant classic performances. Unbelievably recorded, and remastered from the original master tapes, ot me this Levon album is on par with his previous work in "The Band," as John Fogerty's "Centerfield" is to his days with Creedence. Many of the songs are muscular and rhytmic blues romps that can make the hair on your arms and neck tingle like "I've Got a Bet With Myself," and "Get Out Your Big Roll Daddy, and the ballad "Even A Fool Would Let Go" is enough to make your heart break before the end of the first chorus. No stone was left unturned in the care taken to bring this album to CD, as they even found a B-side of a 45 to add as a bonus track and provide lovingly prepaired liner notes and artwork. This is a great CD brought back to life with the same passion that brought it to life the first time, for which I am very thankful."
