4.0 out of 5 stars Behold The Best!, March 19, 2000

This review is from: Lo & Behold (Audio CD)

Back in '73, at the tail end of the Woodstock era, these four British blues vets decided to get together, record a bunch of then-unknown Bob Dylan songs and got Dylan-fan/expert Manfred Mann to produce the whole shebang in his own fashion. The result? A winning set of easy-riffin' rock with Band-like musicianship and off-the-cuff spontenaiety that was atypical of the day. Now, almost thirty years after its initial release, the CD still sounds wonderful, its edginess untempered by time or trend, its performances still sharp and tangy. Raven's reissue is like manna from heaven. Fans of early Fleetwood Mac (before the Lindsey Buckingham/Stevie Nicks phase) will find this stuff much to their liking. It's a forgotten classic worth rediscovering.

I guess I must be finally getting seriously on in years. A friend of mine turned me on to the Dylan "Biography" CDs this past weekend and of all things! but there came to my old tin ears the mournfully-beautiful strain of "Lay Down Your Weary Tune" on track 16 of CD1 which immediately flashed me back to an album I'd once owned in 70s--I found it languishing without fanfare or notice in the cutout bin of a record shop in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Now at that time I didn't know who Coulson, Dean, Mcguinness and Flint were but I figured any group playing Dylan music couldn't be all bad and for 99¢ how wrong could I go? so I snapped it up in a heartbeat. When I got home and spun it first time on my turntable I knew my choice had been wise, as will you, I'm sure, if you're fortunate enough to score a copy of this now out-of-print CD for yourself. Of course, seeing as I no longer have that original album in my possession (time can do awful worrisome things to one's record collection) you'll have to shuffle into line behind me, as my order's already in the queue!

Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE BAND -- but from Britain, May 6, 2004

By

This review is from: Lo & Behold (Audio CD)

McGuiness Flint were, like, THE BAND -- but from Britain. Like the first couple of LPs The Band did, so too the first two records by MCGF were quite magical. Relistening to them years later I was less impressed with them, as the actual lyrical content struck me as vacuous, but instrumentally, they were spot on. This is latterday McGuiness Flint (after the original band's breakup) working on Dylan material, and it's much more like what an album by The Band of Dylan covers MIGHT have sounded like, if The Band had ever engaged in such a project. It's the kind of disc that takes some getting into -- I finally fed it into my computer, so I get to hear it piecemeal -- but then it has a special way of sticking around. Four stars, definitely.
