Lead Performance: Dave Alvin
--
Alvin has a lot in common with '70s-and-'80s-era Ry Cooder: a passion for mining American roots music, fine guitar chops, and an utterly undistinguished voice. But where Cooder imbued traditional material with his personal glow, Alvin's just a competent journeyman. No matter how thoroughly he recasts these 15 folk and blues tunes (the R&B version of ''Shenandoah'' is a nice idea), they don't shine.
