Robbie Robertson - How To Become Clairvoyant

Just finished listening to the album "how to become Clairvoyant" arrived from Amazon today.
I'm not a hardcore fan and nothing so enthusiastic with The Band,  I purchased this just because EC almost joined (7 of 12 songs) playing guitar and contributed one song and co-wrote 2 with RR.
Steve Winwood also joined playing organ on 2 songs.

I felt this album is good enough concerning their ages (really amazing creativity they still own) and especially liked middle tempo songs as follows;
"When the night was young",
"The right mistake",
"This is where I get off",
"Fear of falling (co-wrote with EC and shared vocal) ",
"She's not mine",
"Madam X (instrument song wrote by EC)",
"Won't be back (another co-wrote with EC)"

Worth the money to buy on CD for around or up age 50:)
