   This one is a modern day classic that should have been awarded a Grammy. It features one helluva supporting cast… I think the contributions by Aaron Neville are especially sublime. If you don’t own this one, pick it up… don’t let the rapture pass you by!

   This is a great album. Starting with the deep groove of “Night Parade”, the album has beautiful instrumentation and wonderful songs. My favorite Robbie Robertson album.

   One of my top 5 albums of all time! A masterpiece of timeless music made by a musical genius with a killer musical ensemble— if you don’t own it– buy it!

   thanks Robbie for keeping the good tunes coming. You and Bob Dylan are about the only ones doing it and you’re slightly better than his Bob-ness lol

   Love you

   Hanepi lila wast’e this beautiful night. I just wanted to share with you the since the release of your latest album “How To Become Clairvoyant” they have really played it much and have really given your Musical history and everything they say is really positive….I smile! I listen only to Public Radio here in NC. Spindale Radio Station out of Greenbville/Spartanburg SC audiance covers four States. If you know anything about the Smokies and Blue Ridges…you know of the endless musicians from all areas of life, set the pace here. You are on top. I have all your music and three Generations in my Family sing your songs. Blessings. Toksa

   I love this album. It reminds me of a special time of my life. I was living in Edinburgh in 1993 (I’m from Denmark) and I remember listening to this album over and over again. Especially “Sign of a Rainbow” – Robbie’s soulful voice and fantastic dreamlike guitar…..man…it’s amazing.

   Look at the list of musicians on this album. This is why Robbie’s music feels multi-dimensional, like stepping into a WORLD, not just onto a platform. With headphones on to block outside noise, I am amazed at the complexity of the arrangements. As if peeling an onion, there are many layers, many levels, the collective talent exhibited is incredible. Robbie Robertson’s voice is strong, soft, steady, smooth, reverberating in a way that makes one feel soothed, inspired, and satisfied. In ‘Back to your Woods’ Robbie does a vocal that sounds much like a train whistle, which I have heard in other songs, and just confirms, for me, his amazing vocal talent. Don’t get me started on his guitar talent….beyond words. May you stay………..forever young.

    “wha about now” is one of my favorite songs of all time. Very prophetic. And the “Sign of the Rainbow” always gives me goosebumps when it builds at the bridge. A great album for a night time drive.

    Still break this one occasionally. Been to New Orleans a few times and passed through the Storyville district. Awesome history.

    I just love this album – it’s a music masterpiece – the songs conjure up such vivd images and the music is like a steady deep river wending its way through them. It’s one of my top five albums of all time – still listen to it often. A big thank you for the music from an old fan down in South Africa.

    Storyville is the most original record of all time. Beautifully written, wonderfully recorded. It captures the essence of the Big Easy in a big way.
    You write with the sensibilities of novelist and a poet. You have always breathed life into, and made the songs ‘work.’ The mark of a true artist.

    My favorite song on Storyville is Soap Box Preacher, love the harmonies by Neil Young. I also like the imagery created in the song.

    Soap Box Preacher, Shake this and Night Parade are my favourites on this masterpiece which is only edged out by the 1987 classic as my favourite Robertson album.
