3.0 out of 5 stars A Few great tracks, mostly just ok, May 20, 2003

This review is from: Blues on Blonde on Blonde (Audio CD)

This album concept is kind of interesting, as I am a huge fan of the original Blonde on Blonde. However, most of the tracks on this record bore me, with the exception of maybe 3 or 4 tracks. The majority of the tracks are blues shuffles and such, but a few of the songs that stray away from the norm were actually the best. My three favorites by far were Clarence Bucaro's Sooner or Later One of Us Must Know, Eric Bibb's and Anders Osborne's tracks. One of us must know by Clarence Bucaro is the most interesting and has a warm, sexy, lounge style. It sounds like something right out of the 20's! Eric Bibb's track is great too, I would buy the record for those 3 tracks alone!

but not a great album. I feel as the other reviewers did, that a few good songs can't save this bland collection. I mean, this is a classic album, so it would take some pretty terrific music to do it justice. It isn't here. The track I really liked, though, was Walter Trout's "Leopard-skin Pill-box Hat." I think he captured the rollicking leer of the original very well. Overall: stick with Bob's version.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly standard collection of covers, June 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Blues on Blonde on Blonde (Audio CD)

This is a CD with noble intentions, but that for the most part fails to capture the magic of Blonde on Blonde. Most of the tracks are by-the-book covers of the Dylan songs, not much to grab one's attention. The second half is somewhat better, but still not terribly inspired. The only real high praise I can give out is for Clarence Bucaro (a woman), whose version of One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) is the only real standout on the disc. She is the only one who actually *did* something with the song, rather than just regurgitating it. Overall, an enjoyable collection for a real Dylan fan, but not much new.
