Title: The New Basement Tapes- Lost on the River
Review – Everyone probably knows the basic premise- songs fleshed out from lost Basement Tapes (Woodstock late 60s) era Dylan discovered lost lyrics. This a who’s who of current folk rock- with members of Dawes. My Morning Jacket, Mumford and Sons, Carolina Chocolate Drops and Elvis comprising an interesting super folk rock band. They are quite good. The Costello songs stand out most to me, and of course, the lyrics are cryptically master Dylan. I can’t say I felt overly moved by this disc, but it is pretty interesting. Great Johnny Depp guitar work on “Kansas City”
