How Does It Compare Sound-Wise to Other S&G Collections/Box Sets?
Of course, the songs are time tested classics - great songwriter, great arrangements and great voices will do that. Nearly every one of his songs could be released tomorrow for the first time and still sound fresh - they still sound great and you don't need any further reviews to the testament of his talent ... but more importantly if you own a bunch of his & S&G greatest hits and box sets, how does the sound compare?
I have: GREATEST HITS, ETC; NEGOTIATIONS AND LOVE SONGS and; the OLD FRIENDS BOX SET.
I bought the original GRACELAND CD upon first release and unless you have a remastered version, the GRaceland tracks all sound better here.
The LATE IN THE EVENING sounds much better here than on NEGOTIATIONS.
AMERICAN TUNE is the studio version and not a live version as it was on OLD FRIENDS.
ME & JULIO sounds much better here than on GREATEST HITS and NEGOTIATIONS.
SOUNDS OF SILENCE sounds slighty better on the remastered SOUNDS OF SILENCE CD than her though ...
Any tracks I don't mention are of comparable sound quality to the earlier collections (most of the S&G tracks repeated from OLD FRIENDS - they sound like the exact versions remastered from that set). So, you might not feel the need to buy this collection since you probably own most if not all the tracks and it's just a matter of sound fidelity - though if you want an extra CD to pop in, it's a great collection of great songs.
Album Description
Originally released on Rea's own label in 2002 under the title Dancing Down The Stony Road, this was Rea's first album following a life-threatening illness that had forced him off the road for nearly two years. This reissue features entirely new cover art and comes housed in an attractive slipcase with an eye-catching sparkle strip running down the left side of the package. This bluesy album features 13 tracks including 'Changing Times', 'Burning Feet', 'Easy Rider' and many more. Edel
