Free Music Review: CLINT HEYLIN SAYS THIS ALBUM SAVED RICHARDS LIFE
Hit: 5 Stars
Moondog Matinee is a one ld/cd of 1950s? covers that takes US BACK to their bar band as "The Hawks"...toronto 1959?
when they played bars .
The band is getting along in the studio....perhaps unlike CAHOOTS and STAGEFRIGHT as they cover "Ain't Got No Home", "Mystery Train", "The Promised Land", "The Great Pretender" "A Change Is Gonna Come" as well as others.
I only wish they had expanded on this by doing a second 2 record studio set and then a live box set!!!!!!!
Bob Christgau has called this THE GREATEST COVERS LP !!!!!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.......UNFORTUNALELY THEY WALTZED THEMSELVES INTO NEAR OBLIVION...a few years later
.{..excepting RR who 'took care of biz' and did lots of films and interviews}....sad that as the original set up after this they had only a few studio albums left......and they were still fairly young...
Moondog Matinee Poster
By 1973, the Band were at a crossroads. Having summed up the first phase of their recording career with the Rock of Ages concert recording, Robbie Robertson flirted with an ambitious project inspired by Polish composer Krzystof Penderecki. But instead of forging ahead into uncharted territory, the quintet opted to hearken back to their roadhouse days with an LP that renovated oldies associated with the likes of Clarence "Frogman" Henry, the Platters, and Fats Domino. Given that Robertson's originals were no longer coming as fast and true as in the late '60s, a covers collection was a wise move. After all, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, and Richard Manuel were all vocalists who could tackle classics from the canons of Chuck Berry ("The Promised Land"), Bobby "Blue" Bland ("Share Your Love"), and Sam Cooke ("A Change Is Gonna Come") without straining under the weight of the originals. The 2001 reissue of this unaffected delight is fleshed out with a half-dozen outtakes that fit in nicely with the 10 tracks from the original LP. --Steven StolderCountry Music CDs
