3.0 out of 5 stars Well..., July 12, 2001

Of the three 1990s Band releases, this is widely regarded as the weakest...but it's not without its pleasures (Back to Memphis, Free Your Mind, Rick Danko on Where I Should Always Be and Richard Manuel's She Knows). If you have the classic Band albums from 1968-1976 and want to give their 90s albums a try, I recommend starting with Jericho or Jubilation. But if you have everything except this album, I'd say it's still worth picking up...as has been said many times before, even the worst of the Band is better than most groups at their best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Depends on what you're looking for: NOT like Jericho, June 7, 2004

If you're looking for the good-timey, not-too-heavy-on-the-lyrics, straight-ahead music Band, you'll enjoy this. But Jericho it's not: if you're looking for more thoughtful lyrics, more complex arrangements, that's the album to get from this period. Overall, this feels most like Rick's album. Fun but not life-changing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Better Than Most of What's Out There, July 6, 2006

OK, so the re-formed Band's second low-budget disc wasn't quite up to the quality of their first, "Jericho," but there's still a lot to like here: Danko's beautiful falsetto on the gorgeous Blondie Chaplin tune "Where I Should Always Be"; the bluesy "Back to Memphis"; a slow-cooking "Crazy Mama"; the fast-boiling "Love You Too Much"; and another archival Richard Manual recording. If only other groups with 10 times the budget could consistently come up with music this good.
