Music reviews of Northern Lights-Southern Cross
Music Review: The Band in form
Rating: 5 Stars
The sound is unmistakeable; the musicianship outstanding; the songwriting strong (well, maybe I could have done without the Christmas song - I think I'll leave that one off the iPod - and Twilight, while a great song, sounds a bit underproduced compared to the first eight tracks). It's a record that can take repeated listening - to take in all the lyrics; to appreciate the little touches from the instruments (I love Robbie Robertson's playing. It's not at all like the guitar god's style, but nevertheless is always interesting, technically exact and integrated with the song. (To digress for a moment, it's worth listening to Clapton's No Reason to Cry, which has The Band on it, to see the difference in the two guitar players.) Good music, highly recommended.
Description of Northern Lights-Southern Cross
Hailed upon its arrival as a significant comeback for the Band, this 1975 collection hasn't aged as well as the likes of Stage Fright, Moondog Matinee, or even the outfit's post-Robbie Robertson output. The eight-song collection (augmented on the 2001 reissue with two agreeable extras--alternate versions of "Twilight" and "Christmas Must Be Tonight") isn't without its delights, foremost being Rick Danko's heavy-hearted reading of the devastating "It Makes No Difference." But for every "Forbidden Fruit" and "Ophelia"--worthy additions to Robertson's credits--there are the somewhat forced likes of "Jupiter Hollow" and "Rags and Bones." Also, Garth Hudson stocked up on the latest technology before heading into the studio, but the layers ARPs and mini-Moogs here contribute to a feeling of busyness. Northern Lights--Southern Cross is very much a '70s album--not a good thing from a quintet whose best music was tough to peg to any era. --Steven StolderGeneral CDs
