There's more than a fair share of covers but it doesn't detract from the pace or quality of the album and probably works better than anything else they could have done.
Choice Tracks: Cumberland Blues, Jack Straw, I Know You Rider, Truckin', Morning Dew |
Definitely a great album as far as content is concerned, but it has always lacked the "live" feel that trademarked their sound. There were also alot of studio overdubs added in post-production.
