with booker t and the m g's, paul butterfield, and dr. john
a blues, country feel to this record.all the players are
displayed as baseball cards, and the album cover looks like
the MAPLES INN ( POINTE CLAIRE, QUEBEC) where levon played twice with the cate brothers.
great shows . Mr Helm is a country gentleman and can keep the beat.

Beautifully produced and performed by a steller collection of musicians, this one is certainly worth seeking out. Nothing here is ground-breaking, but not all good music has to be. THis is one is just an extremely pleasant listen. It's much better than anything Helm did later.

"Rain Down Tears" and "You Got Me Spinning" are standouts featuring fine Helm vocals.

Really a band of All-Stars, a-la NBA: Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Mac Rebennack, Paul Butterfield, Donald "Duck" Dunn,Fred Carter, Jr. and a horn section with Howard Johnson, Alan Rubin, Tom Malone and Lou Marini. Collaboration in "Sing, Sing, sing" of Robbie Robertson and Garth Hudson. Recorded at RCO Studios in Woodstock and Shangri-La Studios in Malibu. Lush illustration, remixed , mastered...

But....the stuff isn't in the same level. In Shakespeare's words: Much ado about nothing.

With this lineup, the album should have been so much better. It's just good enough to be a disappointment.
