THE NEW BASEMENT TAPES "lost on the river" cd, 2015
album stats.................#23 US...#69 AU
an album of unearthed and unfinished Bob Dylan lyrics put to music by the likes of Elvis Costello, Jim James(my morning jacket), Marcus Mumford(Mumford & Sons)amongst others...
Elvis gets the nod for the best and worst tracks on this album also...
the songs are very average IMO, they aren't a patch on the Guthrie ones that Billy Bragg & Wilco did on their "mermaid avenue" set of albums...
all up, a disappointing effort from Elvis Costello and Co...
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: married to my hack
best track: lost on the river #12
