Free Music Review: Like the time machine...
Hit: 4 Stars
What more can be said about this fitting end to a remarkable band? Perhaps not up to par with Big Pink or the brown album, but satisfying nevertheless. After reading the other reviews, I believe that Jupiter Hollow has gotten some short shrift. Simple beat (very simple), heavy rhythm (dual drums and bass) with Hudson's swirling, enveloping syntheziser as the lead instrument, are Robertson's lyrics describing a dream...a drug trip...a peter pan-like abduction to another planet with a subsequent return? Who knows? But, it's a fun tune and makes you wonder just where The Band would have gone musically but for the internal stresses.
Northern Lights-Southern Cross Poster
Hailed upon its arrival as a significant comeback for the Band, this 1975 collection hasn't aged as well as the likes of Stage Fright, Moondog Matinee, or even the outfit's post-Robbie Robertson output. The eight-song collection (augmented on the 2001 reissue with two agreeable extras--alternate versions of "Twilight" and "Christmas Must Be Tonight") isn't without its delights, foremost being Rick Danko's heavy-hearted reading of the devastating "It Makes No Difference." But for every "Forbidden Fruit" and "Ophelia"--worthy additions to Robertson's credits--there are the somewhat forced likes of "Jupiter Hollow" and "Rags and Bones." Also, Garth Hudson stocked up on the latest technology before heading into the studio, but the layers ARPs and mini-Moogs here contribute to a feeling of busyness. Northern Lights--Southern Cross is very much a '70s album--not a good thing from a quintet whose best music was tough to peg to any era. --Steven StolderCountry Music CDs
