 A Voice on Matched
Submitted on: 2007-08-12 |

This album is for the true "Band" fan, or for a fan of Richard Manuel. Quality isn't the best, but this performance is raw and driven beautifully by Manuel's voice.
A Good Buy. |

Richard Manuel Tribute
Submitted on: 2007-01-11 |

| You have to be a fan of The Band to truely enjoy this. It is basically a solo acoustic set in a small bar with a few friends who drop in for the set. The piano lacks that funky up-right Band sound that we are used to hearing from Richard, but all of the recordings are of excellent sound quality. Richards voice is actually in great form, considering it was recorded in 1985, just a few months before he committed suicide, and that at The Last Waltz in 1976, his voice was basically shot. He even gives it his best in an encore of Whispering Pines. The dialog in between tracks is good too. Overall it is a fine tribute to a musician whose work deserves the right to stand the test of time. |

 Poor electric piano sound is a shame
Submitted on: 2006-04-16 |

| The import version of this CD has several reviews that are accurate, but none mention one problem of which all purchasers should be aware. For whatever reason, Richard Manuel was apparently using an extremely poor sounding electric piano which is so high in the mix, particularly on the initial tracks, that it is hard to listen to. This is a shame because his voice, even when things get sloppy, is endearing as always. His high range isn't really there but Manuel not hitting the notes is still worth hearing. But beware, listen before you buy. The piano sound might be too much for you. As crazy as it sounds, dubbing in a real piano on the tracks would have been worth the effort. |
