Music reviews of Stage Fright
Music Review: One of the best "Band Albums"
Rating: 5 Stars
Maybe it isn't their greatest artistic achievement,but to listen to "The Band's" first 3 albums in a row I certainly would not think that "Stage Fright" pale's in comparison to "The Band" or "Big Pink".It may just be that the first two album's were so timeless that when the time came around to make a looser record (with song's reflecting that relaxed effort like "Time to Kill" or "Sleeping")it was assumed that they had fallen off a little from their peak.Whether you think they did or not this is a killer album and the "Loosness" of it is what I feel is so amazing about it.They were not trying to make "The Band" part 2.I probably listen to this and "Northern Lights" more than their first 2 albums.Though I love everything they ever released,I wouldn't call this anything but a 5 star album. By the way the editorial review posted by Steven Stolder contains an error.The title track "Stage Fright" was sung by the great Rick Danko not the great Richard Manuel.
Description of Stage Fright
Limited Edition Japanese "Mini Vinyl" CD, faithfully reproduced using original LP artwork including the inner sleeve. Features most recently mastered audio including bonus tracks where applicable.The Band's third studio album is also their third-best studio album, and that isn't bad. It's not as synchronous as Music from Big Pink or as overpowering as The Band, but that's part of its appeal. The quintet's first two albums were such towering achievements that the group came to lean on those songs, turning the lion's share of them into concert staples. Stage Fright is littered with lesser-known Robbie Robertson compositions possessing more modest charms than the overplayed likes of "The Weight" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." The title track is uncommonly hard-eyed and modern; Richard Manual's vocal, like most of his turns at the mic, is sparkling. (Manual also shines on the reflective "Sleeping" and the uptempo "Just Another Whistle Stop"). "All La Glory" is a gorgeous lullaby, while "Time to Kill" sounds like the Band doing Creedence Clearwater Revival. This isn't the place to discover this great North American band, but it's definitely a stop worth taking before your exploration is completed. The 2000 remastered reissue isn't as generously fleshed out with bonus tracks as its predecessors, offering up only three alternate takes and a vintage radio commercial. --Steven Stolder
