Details: Amazon.ca The idea behind this project is to explore music along America's longest highway, the interstate that runs from Los Angeles to the Florida coast. This volume gets as far as Texas. Lone Star folk duo Bill and Bonnie Hearne (or Bill solo) are the stars with four tracks, including the opening "LA Freeway." Joe Ely adds three tracks, including the rolling closer "Are You Listenin' Lucky." But too many of the songs here are already ultrafamiliar, and these versions just don't measure up: on "Carmelita," Counting Crows' Adam Duritz sounds more like he's all strung out on NyQuil than on heroin. Big exception: Willie Nelson's take on "Everybody's Talkin'." The man and the song were made for each other. Ultimately, the concept proves too big a stretch. --John Morthland
