np ... RR was great with the Band, but he proved himself to be the Philip Marlow
of early americana and tone poems from the dry western plains to the blue trains
of the deep south. This release caught everyone off guard, with U2, Peter Gabriel,
the Bodeans, Maria McKee and some Band members. This is all about cool
toasty big world rock and roll, cinematic sweeps of epic folk noire and catchy
classic lyrics. The front cover art work says it all.
Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
