Willie sings Hallelujah

I love willie, and find much to like on this album --
including Hallelujah
Greg nailed the appeal of not striving for holy -- right on!

I have sent some negative feedback to Lost Highway (label) however --- not one songwriting credit in the package. At least one omission bothers me muchly!

More to add --

thanks kush for that great imus/willie story
wonderful humor

inside cover art on the cd --- 5 horizontal lines of birds -- with thin vertical lines......

birds on wires?

Finally -- I too have always admired Bobbie and have enjoyed their partnership on albums and live performances... but on this album, it appears only great long time hamonica for willie -- micky raphael -- is included. Rest of the band consists of Ryan Adams band, the Cardinals. Some extra background voice credits for Hallelujah and two other songs.

Songbird on wires?

Yes I wondered about the credits too.....there is simply no mention of any at all - just the songlist. Micky Raphael always looks forever young to me - but I havent seen him recently.

I just listened to the link -- have to say I liked Hallelujah quite a lot, as well as Stella Blue (another favorite song for me.)

In general, I enjoy hearing covers -- unless I feel they are an absolute massacre, that is....
