Volume 1 (1988)
I love the idea of this “Supergroup”, even though it claims Bob Dylan as one of its members. Dylan and Geddy Lee are waging a furious battle for worst vocalist in the known universe. Dylan’s winning, because he refuses to disguise the vocal terror that is his natural singing/talking-along-with-music voice. But I have no objections
to the others, and it seemed something really nice could come from this. I’m not wholly disappointed, as this album does have two viable good songs on it, but it should have more…especially considering that there are four decent songwriters in the band. Oh well. You live, you learn to accept disappointment.
Great vocal by Harrison on the opening cut.
(“Handle With Care”)
