Free Music Notes for Badlands: A Tribute To Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska
Free Music Review: Big disappointment
Hit: 2 Stars
As a fan of Springsteen and one of the most innovative and poignant albums ever made "Nebraska" I was excited to hear some alternate versions of songs on this album. Actually, the main reason I gave it a try was the that Dar Williams (Highway patrolman) and Aimee Mann (Reason To Believe) was on the cd. The Aimee Mann version was o.k. but there was more of Michael Penn's singing on the song which kind of ruined it. The Dar Williams cover of Highway was also just o.k. as it seemed she was just going through the motions on the song. Ben Harper's version of "My Father's House" was decent as was Raul Malo's version of "Downbound Train".
The rest of it went from forgettable to just plain bad. Johnny Cash's version of "I'm On Fire" was flat and monotone, Los Lobos' "Johnny 99" didn't have any of the passion of the original version, and Hank III should have their hands cut of after the way they butchered "Atlantic City".
Overall, this "Tribute" album was anything but- it sounded like they asked a bunch of amateur musicians to record their covers after only one take and send it to some recording label with a P.O.Box in somewhere in Idaho. Save yourself some money and misguided anticipation and skip this one.
Badlands: A Tribute To Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska Poster
There was a time when nobody besides Manfred Mann really bothered to cover Bruce Springsteen songs. All that changed once Born to Run turned the New Jersey singer-songwriter into a pop icon. Still, it was in the bleak character studies of 1982's Nebraska that he reaffirmed himself as a literate everyman steeped in the tradition of John Steinbeck and Flannery O'Connor, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. And that's the side of Springsteen that clearly appeals to Johnny Cash, Los Lobos, Hank Williams III, and the dozen other artists who participate in this remake of Nebraska. Chrissie Hynde, Ani DiFranco, and Deana Carter all deliver haunting performances, but as far as the men folk go, the album's most striking covers are "bonus" tracks that were recorded for but not released on Nebraska: "I'm on Fire" sounds even creepier with Cash's craggy vocal; Raul Malo brings out the pop sheen of "Downbound Train"; and "Wages of Sin," in the hands of Damien Jurado and Rose Thomas, shows Springsteen can be just as depressing as your favorite emo idol. All of which makes this a fine companion to the original recording. --Bill FormanInteresting and eclectic collection of artists on this tribute to Springsteen's 6th album, Nebraska.
