Robbie Robertson - Robbie Robertson


Rating: 5/5

Review:
Still a very fine album


I loved this album when it came out and it has stood up very well over the 30 years or so since then.

There is a fine mixture of songs here: the aching Fallen Angel and Broken Arrow (both featuring Peter Gabriel), the gospel-soul infused Testify, the wonderfully sultry, sexy Somewhere Down the Crazy River and other gems.  Members of U2, Garth Hudson and Rick Danko all appear in places and the production is magnificent; rich, thoughtful, evocative and completely captivating to my ears.

In short, this remains a very fine album by a great musician and songwriter.  Very warmly recommended.
