These two albums are amongst my favourites. His vocals are so distinctive, the music is great, clever lyrics with interesting subject matter, delivered with conviction & passion. I like and respect what the Band did all those years ago, but these albums just grab your attention and the mix and general recording quality is first class (the original CD releases were pretty good anyway so you could argue that the re-mastering doesn't make much of a difference). If you get these discs and like what you hear, try the Native American album and also the follow up "Music from the Underworld of Red Boy", great music from the heart, sung with passion & historical leanings & characters from his ancestory. I just wish there was more output from Robbie, one of the most talented artists of out time (just like Al Stewart, not as appreciated as they should be).

Robbie Robertson's song writing is outstanding and the way he blends his guitar playing with the rest of the music is great. I would like to hear Robbie play more and/or extended guitar solos. Great music for riding around Arizona anytime of day or night. I just wish Robbie would put a CD out more often. If you liked THE BAND, but with a wider range of musical sounds. You will not be disappointed in any way. Great music!
