Touting the New Orleans connection, one might hope foe “Robbie Robertson and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band”, but this is hardly the case. The album leans too far to the mellow side. (I even heard “What About Now” once in a grocery store, perhaps indicating that he had now established adult contemporary credibility). At best, the upbeat tunes reach mid-tempo. “Go Back to Your Woods”, “Night Parade” and “Resurrection” are fun, although “Shake This Town” and “Breakin’ the Rules” don’t really do either. Robbie’s voice is not strong enough to liven up these songs. At almost an hour, the album is a bit too long to hold interest over its length. None of the songs are horrible, but the album isn’t a grabber.trfesokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631886869696528704noreply@blogger.com
