Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Band as it now stands simply cannot carry the weight it once did. Avatar Robbie Robertson has been gone since 1976, meaning he's been an ex-Band member longer than he was in the long-lived outfit. Richard Manual, in his prime the group's most versatile vocalist, died in 1987. Still, bassist-vocalist Rick Danko, drummer-vocalist Levon Helm, and master instrumentalist Garth Hudson--along with a few supplemental players--forge ahead. With Helm, who's been the backbone of the post-Robertson group, ailing, the Band of Jublilation is left largely in the shaky hands and voice of Danko, whose past personal problems are well-documented. (In 1997 he was given a five-year suspended sentence in Japan for heroin possession.) This 11-song collection isn't going to make anyone forget Music from Big Pink. And yet there's a certain kind of nobility to be found in Danko's strained-but-true singing in "Book Faded Brown" and "If I Should Fall" as well as in Helm's more abraded vocals in Allen Toussaint's "A Blind Fool's Love." Eric Clapton and John Hiatt make cameo appearances here, but they don't really elevate the recording. In truth, Jubiliation isn't really an album about getting higher; it's about three musicians sharing a load that's wearing them down bit by bit but hasn't gotten the best of them yet. --Steven Stolder

Entertainment Weekly

...Eric Clapton's lead guitar helps flesh out a tune, and John Hiatt proves a welcome diversion on "Bound by Love."

Still very good Feb 17 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
For a long time I have thought The Band was, if not the top group of the Woodstock Era, among the top three. But, for some reason, probably my interest in newer groups like The Eagles, I did not pursue this interest beyond "Before The Flood." (I took a passing interest in "The Last Waltz") I basically thought The Band was "dead and buried," although I continued to take interest in Bob Dylan,The Stones, and the Grateful Dead throughout the 80's and 90's. I was delighted to learn on the internet last fall that The Band was still making albums, and I bought two, "Jubilation" and Rick Danko's collaboration with Eric Anderson, "Riding on the Blinds." I also bought Eric Anderson's new album, "You Can't Relive The Past." My impression of "Jubilation" and of the others only confirms my previous view, which is that "StageFright" was the #1 album of the Woodstock Era (quite a claim). It should possibly be noted that as I recall, VH-1 did not rank The Band very high on its list of 100 top rock groups (they did make the cut) and also that these albums do not rank very high in sales.

The New Band Same Good Ole Music Jan 2 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This album may contain only 3 of the original members but it still gives a feeling of some good ole southern Band music. Eric Clapton's appearance is also welcomed.

The best of the Band's post-1976 output. Oct 9 2000
Format:Audio CD
Robbie or no Robbie, this is a wonderful album, and almost certainly the best post-1976 album of the Band. You could buy it for the first two songs alone: Rick Danko's voice and Garth Hudson's accordion on Book Faded Brown are beautiful and haunting, and Don't Wait (despite Levon Helm's voice problems, a heartfelt and expressive vocal) is (both in lyrics and in performance) one of the best and most moving songs they have recorded since the brown album. In general there is a wistfulness to this album that makes it very adult and appealing, reflecting some of the hard times they've gone through...some terrific & heartfelt songs here. And I have to single out Rick Danko's vocals too...some of the finest & most poignant singing in his career (Book Faded Brown, If I Should Fail, High Cotton) is on this disc. And Garth's playing is always a joy.

If you are looking for an introduction to the music of the Band, you'd be better off starting with the early classics of the original lineup (Music from Big Pink, The Band (brown album)). But if you're familiar with the 1968-1976 albums and are curious about the group's later years, you will enjoy this lovely signature piece from one of the finest and most original groups in music history.
