This is a must-hear for anyone who appreciates really good music. The Beck-Willie duet is awesome, and the other live performances are better than the original recordings. I hope we're going to see volume 2 soon!

I am not a huge fan of live albums, but when I saw which artists were on this CD, I had to check it out. I think that this is a great collection of Rock and Country, not to mention a good cause. I especially love the version of Dave Matthews "Crash"! The thought of listening to Beck & Willie sing together made me nervous, but it is definately a selection you just have to hear. I would suggest this to anyone!

One of the best live recordings I've heard in a long time. I attended some of the Farm Aid concerts where these songs were performed, and the CD really captures the energy and spirit of these events. A great CD for a great cause!

I remember watching this so I bought it, however it was not the one I thought it would be so I have to buy others

This CD is definitely worth every penny. Plenty of good music for a good cause, but I think that something is missing. Anyone who has watched Farm Aid in recent years has to remember the 20+ minute Phish/Neil Young jam of "Down By The River" in 1998. This is probably the heaviest hitting moment in Farm Aid's history and would have been a great addition to the album. Oh Well, buy it anyway and remember, "Homegrown is alright with me!"

I purchased the CD and it was delivered as promised and in New Condition. Thanks.

A letdown musically, with a couple excellent songs -- mostly by the always spirited Neil Young. Willie Nelson hams up the chorus of an otherwise superb "City of New Orleans" but redeems himself on a duet with Beck. Johnny Cash is typically enjoyable, but if you're a fan I'm sure you already own several versions of "Folsom Prison Blues."

Other than that it's a lot of expendable contemporary country and lite rock. Supports a great cause though. Buy it to help family farmers or if you are desperate to possess these live versions.
