4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent showcase, 15 Sep 2007
By rle17 "rle17" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Almost a year to the day it was filmed comes the release of this DVD, chronicling the live re-creation of Solomon Burke's "Nashville" album as performed at Nashville's Belcourt Theater. "Re-creation" is the operative word here; it's striking how close the stage renditions of these songs are to the way they sound on the record (which was, after all, recorded as live at producer Buddy Miller's home). But to merely note the faithfulness of the DVD to the album would be to miss the point: this DVD showcases brilliant musicianship - dominated not by technical proficiency but by masterly feel - and Burke's enormous basso profundo/baritone voice, which navigates the country/soul territory of this performance with the passion of the gospel preacher he once was.

Practically all the guests who appeared on the record share the stage with Burke at various points - amongst others Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Emmylou Harris, Paul Kennerley and Jim Lauderdale. Dolly Parton doesn't make it to the party however, so the "Tomorrow Is Forever" duet is dropped, and the DVD has a couple of other departures from the album's tracklisting. Oddly, Buddy and Julie Miller's dark "Does My Ring Burn Your Finger" is replaced with their bluesy "Dirty Water", and there's the bonus of songs which don't appear on the album, including a gorgeous rendition of Burke's early hit "Just Out Of Reach", and a sprightly take on Bill Monroe's "Gotta Travel On".

Throughout Burke is stationed centrestage on what can only be called a throne, a vaguely baroque-looking wooden affair that would easily seat two ordinary-sized mortals but is fully occupied by Burke's ample frame. There's no attempt to duplicate the flow of a live concert; the songs are all intercut with commentary from Burke and the various singer-songwriters involved. More such commentary actually kicks off the DVD, the first ten or so minutes of which are devoted to assorted recollections of the making of the "Nashville" album.

The second greatest joy in watching this DVD is in the realisation that really is how live music is meant to be - spontaneous, soulful and brimming with feel; this really does stomp all over most rock concert footage you could name. But of course the greatest satisfaction is in hearing Burke produce definitive versions of the songs time and time again; as practically all the guests note, he really does make them his own.

Sadly the package is let down by two flaws. The camerawork is generally good but the footage is strangely blocky and pixellated in places, as though it's been overcompressed or was underlit and had to be somehow repaired digitally at the expense of clarity. The other obvious problem is the numerous typos in the song titles on the packaging, including one supreme howler that attributes the song "Wonderful World" to Sam Cooke (the song Burke actually tackles is Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World, written by Thiele and Weiss).
