Album Notes & Community Reviews

Intended as an affectionate homage to the R&B and early rock and roll records they cut their teeth playing in the 1960s, this all-covers collection provided a creative breather for the road-weary group. Highlighted by Richard Manuel's devastating vocal performance on 'Share Your Love with Me', it effectively recontextualized classic hits through their signature rustic Americana lens.
