    The artists take risks, and they--and the songbook--come out sounding the better for it.

    It's a revelation. Tyros (Maren Morris) and legends (Dolly Parton) mine deep cuts to reveal in John's songs a very country strain of stoic melancholy. Miranda Lambert delivers a stormy "My Father's Gun"; Don Henley and Vince Gill wring pathos from the divorce lament "Sacrifice."

    The Nashville-based disc is not just more focused on a style and a subset of artists but leans toward the more expressly singer-songwriter-type material John was recording in the early ’70s, under the influence of his roots-loving collaborator.

    Simplesmente perfeito, tudo deu certo ao contrário do Revamp. Cada faixa soa como algo novo e pessoal do artista e não como um cover.
