Mar 14, 2012 - Rehearsal?! Are you kidding me? Gotta love Nick Lowe . . . unaffected Elvis Costello before there was even an affected Elvis Costello. Plus, is there anyone better than Jeff Tweedy to sing Rick Danko? F'in' Beautiful!
cbob7 Says:
Mar 15, 2012 - I have to disagree. I mean, I love love love Mavis, who certainly shines here and could pull this off solo, but Nick Lowe's understated, humble delivery, and Jeff Tweedy cover of Rick Danko's verses are exquisite in their own way. This is rock & roll church right here. Can I get an amen?

Mar 16, 2012 - Didn't even mention Mavis because what more can be said. The voice that, more than any other, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Apr 19, 2012 - In my mind it's like they're singing it in honor of Levon.
