Rock & Roll Highway (CD) by Various Artists

CD. Although it seems to have been assembled without much thought to overall coherence, this three-disc, 30-track collection has some interesting selections, many of them live performances, including Hot Tuna's rendition of Booker White's "Parchman Farm," Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Birds of Fire," Mountain's "Theme from an Imaginary Western," and a live take of Shuggie Otis doing "Shuggie's Boogie." Nothing is exactly essential, but there are enough surprises in the set list to make it interesting. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
