Free Music Notes for The Very Best of
Free Music Review: Almost Perfect
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm one of those folks who bought this strictly for CD 2, because I already have everything that's on CD 1. Regarding CD 1, all in all, I have to say they did an "almost perfect" job in the song selection. The "Garcia" album is well represented in that you get the good songs without those scary instrumentals. From "Compliments," I agree with selecting Let It Rock, but I would not have selected Russian Lullaby. I would have selected that mysterious and wonderful song Mississippi Moon or that fantastic song, Turn on the Bright Lights. I think that "Reflections" is well represented. From "Cats Under the Stars," I love the title track of course, but I would not have selected Rubin and Cherise or Rhapsody in Red. The selections from "Run for the Roses" are good selections. All in all, CD 1 is very very good, even with my minor quibbles.
CD 2, the live material, is "better than good." Of the three acoustic tracks that begin CD 2, I like the first track, Catfish John, because it really does capture that "high lonesome sound" a-la Bill Monroe. The Positively 4th Street is very good. The reggae tune The Harder They Come is excellent, mostly because of the bass, they really thump that bass like a fine dub tune. Gamorrah is a very good live version, though I think I prefer the studio version on Cats Under the Stars. Dear Prudence is EXCELLENT. Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) is fantastic, although you probably already have that track on those "Jerry Garcia Band" CDs. The inclusion of Evengeline is unfortunate, in my opinion. So many better tracks than that could have been chosen. The final track, Deal, is very good...it has a sort of mellowness to it that is nice, rather than the harder, rock-out Deals we're used to.
So I would give the whole package 5 stars. Try using CD 1 in your car, it seems to work well that way for me.
