1.0 out of 5 stars Richie Havens works the Ramada Inn???, August 15, 2003

flounder (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sings Beatles & Dylan (Audio CD)

What is this...Richie Havens does elevator music? Richie Havens works the Ramada Inn??? The voice is there, but the raw, driving, acoustic guitar and conga drums have been replaced with instrumental tracks, including synthesizer, that sound like Yani or Michael Bolton. The producer should be shot. If you're looking for the tracks on this album, find them on another release. "Resume," however is great...the Richie Havens we know and love from the Woodstock era.

2.0 out of 5 stars An Abysmal Recording, September 9, 2005

Debra Fitzsimmons "Eire's child" (Collingwood, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sings Beatles & Dylan (Audio CD)

I couldn't believe what I was hearing with this. I was so excited to hear Ritchie Havens perform the music of my 2 biggest influences...but I was sorely disappointed. What the other negative reviews have said are correct...that while the amazing voice is still there, the synths and drum machines are horrible.

In my mind, the only 2 tracks that fully capture the true genius of Ritchie Havens are "Working Class Hero" and "License to Kill"...which are stellar, and the only reason this got 2 stars instead of one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, December 12, 2002

William S Banfield (Culver, IN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sings Beatles & Dylan (Audio CD)

Don't waste your money on this release. It is way over produced and is littered with cheesy synthesizers throughout. I have saved the disc rather than tossing it in the garbage just to get a good laugh every once in a while.

If you want a real Richie Haven's disc, pick up Live at the Cellar Door.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Abortion of Sound
This music is seriously the worst thing I have ever heard. Richie Havens is just too talented to produce this kind of trash. Two thumbs down, way down.

I'm not too sure who thought up using the Synthesizer instead of Richie's powerful guitar but it was not a good idea. The voice is still there but it could have been done better.

5.0 out of 5 stars for his voice alone!
