A previously unreleased solo live show from the late Richard Manuel, one of the lead singers of the Band, includes a mix of Band classics, two original instrumentals, & exquisite covers of Ray Charles, Fats Domino, & J.J. Cale. Recorded in 1985 at Woodstock's The Getaway club. Features guest appearances by Rick Danko & Jim Weider. Tracks, 'Grow Too Old', 'Georgia on My Mind', 'Jazz (Instrumental #1)', 'Across the Great Divide', 'You Don't Know Me', 'King Harvest (Has Surely Come)', 'I Shall Be Released', 'The Shape I'm In', 'Piano (Instrumental #2)', 'Miss Otis Regrets', 'Crazy Mama', 'She Knows', 'Hard Times', 'Chest Fever', 'Whispering Pines', 'Tears of Rage', 'Across the Great Divide' (alternate version), & 'Georgia on My Mind' (alternate version).

Singer/songwriter/pianist Richard Manuel never actually made any formal solo recordings apart from his membership in the Band, but this posthumously released album presents a club date he played in Saugerties, NY, less than five months before he committed suicide on March 4, 1986. Manuel accompanies himself on piano, singing songs from the Band repertoire ("Across the Great Divide," "King Harvest [Has Surely Come]," "I Shall Be Released," "The Shape I'm In," "Chest Fever"), including a couple ("Whispering Pines," "Tears of Rage") on which he has co-songwriting credits. He also demonstrates his major influences by performing music by and associated with Fats Domino ("Grow Too Old") and Ray Charles ("Georgia on My Mind," "You Don't Know Me," "Hard Times"). And he plays a couple of piano instrumentals. He has friends in the audience who sometimes come up and join him, notably fellow Band member Rick Danko, who provides vocal and guitar support on several tracks, and guitarist Jim Weider, who was a member of later configurations of the Band. Manuel's contributions to the Band tended to be overshadowed by other group members, but here, even shortly before his death, he makes a strong impression with his barrelhouse piano work and expressive vocals, emphasizing the loss to music that was soon to come.

Review by William Ruhlmann, Allmusic.com

Despite the public acclaim garnered by The Band from 1968-77, one of its members, the late Richard Manuel, has never really stood out on his own when mentioned to the public; one has to mention The Band along with Manuel to see the appreciation for his contributions. His silver-throated, heartbreaking voice helped define The Band's sound and artistic purpose. When the group first split in 1977, Manuel did not pursue a high profile solo career, rather participating in low-key projects. Of course, The Band (minus lead songwriter Robbie Robertson) reunited in 1983, but their tours were far from the success of years past.

Richard Manuel hanged himself in a fit of depression in 1986. Since then, his memory has been tarnished by a very childish dispute between Robbie Robertson and another Band vocalist Levon Helm, a dispute which basically boils down to an ethic of "Who respected Richard more?" Robertson claims it was the frustrations of The Band's reunion tours that drove the singer to suicide, while Helm fires back with claims that Robertson never gave Manuel credit where it was due, citing that there are "only a few shots of Richard" while the camera focused almost entirely on Robertson in The Band's concert film "The Last Waltz."

But fortunately, Dreamsville Records has given the memory of Richard Manuel a great justice with this excellent album, culled from a performance at The Getaway club in Saugerties, New York, just five months before his death. There have been several bootlegs that showcase the singer and are worth seeking out, such as "The Last Moving Shadows" (named after Ron Horning's morbid, sick article about Manuel's suicide). But this volume is better, and has a surprisingly clean, pure sound quality. Band member Rick Danko even shows up, but it's Richard Manuel in the spot light. He covers songs from his roots and influences and his days with The Band. Renditions of 'She Knows,' 'Crazy Mama,' and 'Miss Otis Regrets' are stirring and enjoyable, while the song selection from The Band eerily reveals a bit more; performing the beatiful 'I Shall Be Released,' then falling back to the dark 'The Shape I'm In' gave the audience a clue as to what the singer was going through personally.

"Whispering Pines" is an essential buy for anyone who is looking for an album that does justice to the memory of Richard Manuel, and for anyone unsatisfied with the available bootlegs. The feud between Robertson and Helm can overshadow many things, but not the voice God gave to Richard Manuel.
