Favorite music

Robbie Robertson never sounded better than with Daniel Lanois producing on "Robbie Robertson". 'Somewhere Down The Crazy River' is a favorite track for system evaluation.

I also like his "Belladonna" LP.

Great thread!

Jazdoc,

That album was my first experience with Daniel Lanois, I missed him on "The Band," not being a fan of their sound.

Richard Vandersteen gets credit for introducing Robbie Robertson and "Somewhere Down The Crazy River" to me. It was one of his favorite demo tracks. I bought two copies and still pull it out and listen after all these years.

It's approaching the 25 year anniversary of the collaboration of Daniel and Robbie on this LP and for me, it still holds up both musically and sonically.

My input doesn't get the recognition of the OP, and I know in posting this, I'll come across as a/an A--h---. I recommended this LP months ago. I'm glad that others are enjoying it now.

I purchased the Dislocation Blues album from the suggestion above and love it, thanks so much. As I mentioned, I have been a fan of CW for many years and have most of his recordings but did not have that one. I am deeply moved by it. You can hear the damage in his voice and the passion in his playing. The pairing with Jeff Lang is perfect. Also a stellar recording. Fantastic version of Changing of the Guard. I believe it was the last record Chris Whitley made.

Thanks Albert, thanks to you, that is a new favorite of mine as well. Please forward similar recommendations.

Be well!
