Product Description
This is Arlo's second album with Shenandoah, this time recorded at Long View Farms Studio in MA. The hallmarks of this album are tight vocals and harmonies and fabulous picking and playing of all involved. The addition of a sizeable string section adds a whole new dimension to the sound. Shenandoah is comprised of David Grover on guitars and vocals, Dan Velika on bass, guitar and vocals, Steve Ide on guitars and vocals, Carol Ide on percussions and vocals, and Terry "A la Berry" Hall on drums, marimba and vocals.

One of the best folk back-up bands ever.......1999-06-05

There is something for everyone on this album. Not a bad song in the bunch. This album is neither repetitious nor unharmonious. It features not only Arlo's vast talents, but those of some well-loved local Berkshires band members, formerly known as Boogity Shoe. At last, Steve Ide and the others get well-deserved & long-overdue recognition as being exceptional players on many instruments. And as always, Arlo pays due respect to some of the best song-writers ever. Though I still have a vinyl copy of this record, the songs & their lyrics, the players & their talents, will always be etched in my mind as wonderful a collaboration as chocolate & strawberries, as if mere musicians could do that.

The Great Songs That Never Made Radio.......2003-08-24

It seems like a million years ago when Arlo Guthrie played the northwest university I was attending after making Outlasting the Blues with Shenandoah. The audience was pretty much split between fans of Alice's Restaurant who figured Guthrie had probably followed Janis, Jimi and the rest of the rockers into the great beyond, and the more aware crowd who showed up for "City of New Orleans." No one was ready for the very much alive and not tamed by radio Guthrie or the ch-ch-changes he'd been through. The big news was he'd become a monk, in the same Franciscan lay order as John Michael Talbot, from the country rock band, Mason Proffit. So along with the Arlo crowd pleasers, from "Comin' into Los Angeles" to "I Don't Want a Pickle" and "Alice's Restaurant," he previewed songs from this incredible rock masterpiece, songs of vision and power, notably, "Which Side Are You On?" So, for all the old 'sixties icons who had "sold out," (whatever that means), some were still searching. They included Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary, whom Bob Dylan advised to read the Bible, and like Dylan, Stookey embarked on his own spiritual search. One of his best-known concert songs is an Arlo-Guthrie-penned tune that appeared on his Paul And album, "Gabriel's Mother's #16 Talking Highway Blues." Other bands also later covered songs from Outlasting the Blues.

Arlo's Best.......2000-10-06

This cd contains two albums, one from 1979, the other from 1981(I think). The former, Outlasting The Blues, is my favorite Arlo album. He really hit his stride with this one. His song Prelude is simply beautiful, and his version of Pete Seeger's Sailing Down My Golden River is perfect. His band, Shenandoah, is in top form. Don't miss this one! Arlo is one of those artists whose mission is to generate goodwill. We need more like him.
