Robbie Robertson never had hits as a solo artist. Sure, some tracks from his
1987 debut got some college play, but they werent hits, and by the time he was
making exploratory, neo-electronica, neo-Americana, atmospheric albums for
Capitol (theyre mood pieces, but dont you dare call them new age - this is the
guy who wrote The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down!), he was completely off the
radar, at least as far as pop goes. So, compiling a collection of hits from the
Capitol years is kind of a non-starter, since not only did he not have hits from
this era, he made albums that were mood pieces, intended to be taken that way.
So, selecting highlights from those records winds up being not bad, but not
necessary, either. If you wanted a sampling of these records, without hearing
the full albums, this does a good job of selecting highlights; if you want a
couple of rarities, there are some new mixes and remixes scattered among these
13 songs. Overall, though, this shouldnt be seen as a hits collection, or even
as representative overview of his solo career.
