This review is from: High on the Hog (Audio CD)

High on the Hog is the eleventh album by Canadian-American rock group The Band released in 1996. It is the second studio album of The Band in its latter-days lineup. As with its predecessor, 1993's Jericho, it relies heavily on cover versions; only two tracks are original. Songs include Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" (a song The Band originally backed Dylan on), done as a tribute to Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, Blondie Chaplin's "Where I Should Always Be", a song in the tradition of "Whispering Pines" (from the 1969 eponymous album), the cover of Johnnie Johnson and The Kentucky Headhunters' "Back to Memphis", which features layers of horns by Garth Hudson and the closer "Ramble Jungle", with Champion Jack Dupree growling out barely intelligible vocals over a pastiche of African music.

The British and Japanese pressings of the album closed with a different track, "Young Blood", which only appeared in the United States on a tribute album to Doc Pomus.
Track listing as follows:
1. "Stand Up" (Bruce Channel, Ricky Ray Rector) - 3:07
2. "Back To Memphis" (Johnnie Johnson, A. Kenney, M. Orr, G. Martin, F. Young, R. Young) - 5:10
3. "Where I Should Always Be" (Blondie Chaplin) - 4:27
4. "Free Your Mind" (Denzil Foster, Thomas McElroy) - 5:05
5. "Forever Young" (Bob Dylan) - 6:30
6. "The High Price of Love" (Jules Shear, Stan Szelest, The Band) - 5:58
7. "Crazy Mama" (J. J. Cale) - 4:48
8. "I Must Love You Too Much" (Bob Dylan, Helena Springs) - 3:32
9. "She Knows" (James Griffin, Robb Royer) - 3:21
10. "Ramble Jungle" (Randy Ciarlante, Jack Dupree, Levon & Garth, Rob Leon, Jim Weider) - 4:59
