Free Music Notes for Jubilation
Free Music Review: Great Final Chapter!
Hit: 4 Stars
"Jubilation" from 1998 was the third album released by the band after the re-union. Lead-singer, keyboard-player and occasional drummer Richard Manuel, who died in 1986, had contributed one track on each of the previous two albums; here only three remaining original members are featured.
Musically the sound is unmistakably the Band as we known them from the late sixties and the seventies. Though the voices of Levon Helm and Rick Danko have lost some of the power of their younger days, Danko's singing in particular, is as moving and honest as ever. Especially his ballads stand out. Opening track "Book Faded Brown" is the Band at their best, and the Danko co-written ballad "If I Should Fail" is just as great. On John Hiatt's "Bound By Love" Danko and Hiatt share the lead vocals, and it's no surprise that this is another highlight.
Helm, who suffered great throat problems at the time of these recordings, gives fine performances on "Don't Wait" and Allan Toussaint's "You See Me".
On the JJ Cale sounding country-blues "High Cotton" it's Danko and Helm sharing vocals.
The strongest rocker "White Cadillac" features new member Randy Ciarlante on lead-vocals.
A short dramatic ( and poetic ) instrumental, "French Girls" concludes the album.
Another great Band album which is, with Danko also gone, is more than likely to be their final.
Jubilation Poster
The Band's studio album Jubilation was recorded in Levon Helm's Woodstock barn in the spring of 1998, and released by River North Records on September 15th the same year. It includes songs written by Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Bobby Charles, John Hiatt (also guesting), and Allen Toussaint, and has Eric Clapton playing slide guitar on the song "Last Train To Memphis."The Band as it now stands simply cannot carry the weight it once did. Avatar Robbie Robertson has been gone since 1976, meaning he's been an ex-Band member longer than he was in the long-lived outfit. Richard Manual, in his prime the group's most versatile vocalist, died in 1987. Still, bassist-vocalist Rick Danko, drummer-vocalist Levon Helm, and master instrumentalist Garth Hudson--along with a few supplemental players--forge ahead. With Helm, who's been the backbone of the post-Robertson group, ailing, the Band of Jublilation is left largely in the shaky hands and voice of Danko, whose past personal problems are well-documented. (In 1997 he was given a five-year suspended sentence in Japan for heroin possession.) This 11-song collection isn't going to make anyone forget Music from Big Pink. And yet there's a certain kind of nobility to be found in Danko's strained-but-true singing in "Book Faded Brown" and "If I Should Fall" as well as in Helm's more abraded vocals in Allen Toussaint's "A Blind Fool's Love." Eric Clapton and John Hiatt make cameo appearances here, but they don't really elevate the recording. In truth, Jubiliation isn't really an album about getting higher; it's about three musicians sharing a load that's wearing them down bit by bit but hasn't gotten the best of them yet. --Steven Stolder
