Endless Highway: The Music of The Band

Many thanks to the 429 folks for building the music section of the Endless Highway website, which has full samples of each tune. I listened to the whole thing tonight — only a handful of songs sound like the originals, and that’s a serious feather in the album’s cap. On the “Check This Out” tip, Steve Reynolds’ Stage Fright, Roseanna Cash’s Unfaithful Servant, Blues Traveler’s Rag Mama Rag and Trevor Hall’s Life Is a Carnival are all worthy of your undivided aural attention.

Here’s the complete tracklist for Endless Highway, which reads kinda like a fantasy set that some dude on a message board posted as a joke:

Jack Johnson “I Shall Be Released”
The Allman Brothers “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”
Death Cab For Cutie “Rocking Chair”
My Morning Jacket “It Makes No Difference”
Lee Ann Womack “The Weight”
Jakob Dylan “Whispering Pines”
Gomez “Up On Cripple Creek”
Bruce Hornsby “King Harvest”
Rosanne Cash “Unfaithful Servant”
Blues Traveler “Rag Mama Rag”
Joe Henry “Bessie Smith”
Guster “This Wheel’s On Fire”
Widespread Panic “Chest Fever”
John Hiatt & North Mississippi Allstars “Ain’t No More Cane”
Jackie Greene “Look Out Cleveland”
ALO “Ophelia”
Steve Reynolds “Stage Fright”
Josh Turner “When I Paint My Masterpiece”
Gov’t Mule “The Shape I’m In”
Trevor Hall “Life is a Carnival”
The Roches “Acadian Driftwood”

Now if we can only get this group of artists to do a tour promoting the release of this thing, we will definitely be in business…
