Taking Woodstock ReviewThis CD starts things off right with a brand-new recording of Richie Havens' "Freedom 2009," which is a little slower and more deliberate in approach and attack than the original version from 1969 that Mr. Havens totally improvised in the moment - but I think the slightly slower rhythms of this new track give everything an extra shade of contemplation . . . which is what Ang Lee's new film invites as well. Folks who attack this disc because a few of the tracks are not directly from Woodstock miss the point (and they can simply buy the actual Woodstock CDs if that's what they're looking to get) . . . this CD captures the spirit and the groove of the times (along with some well-placed new music tracks from film composer Danny Elfman, the "Main Titles" being my favorite of those offered) . . . use of the song "Maggie M'Gill" from THE DOORS' Morrison Hotel is a little anachronistic because the song wasn't released until 1970 (months after Woodstock happened) . . . but so what? Again, it's about the feeling of those times . . . and it was (and IS) a good feeling . . . isn't it nice to feel good about something these days?! This CD puts across a good feeling all on its own, and it's an especially nice counterpoint to the film (and this CD's live track of Grateful Dead's "China Cat Sunflower" kicks much jammin' ass - with an especially sweet tone on Jerry Garcia's leads) . . . Enjoy this CD, and then see the movie and read the book on which it's based . . . there's a lot of America to find in there.Taking Woodstock Overview
