Cool5
This CD is very good, as any of you who are familiar with Mountain Stage would anticipate. Like usual, host Larry Groce steals the show. His version of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" is an all-timer. Danko and Hudson are great as well. Groce and company's cover of "Positively 4th Street" should be released.

good but not great4
You cannot go wrong with the "Mountain Stage" series. It is just a matter of whether you are a fan of the various artists for each disc. The series is also good for exposing you to songs that you would, otherwise, never listen to.

The best tune is "Twighlight" by Rick Danko and Grath Hudson. It is a beautiful and emotional song. "O Marie" by Daniel Lanois is also of very high quality. "Such a Night" by Dr. John features magnificent piano playing. Richard Thompson could do no wrong and "Shoot out the Lights" is one of his better hard rockers. The Buckwheat Zydeco closer is a fitting ending and is a smoking hot rocker.

I love NRBQ but "Yes, yes, yes" is weak for a group famous for their high energy and terrific musicanship.

The rest of the songs are okay.

If you check out all of the mountain stage cds and pick the ones where you have an affinity for the artists then you will definitely be pleased.

This series is the best collection of eclectic artists both famous and cult favorites.
