"These "all-star celebrations" and the CD/DVDs that inevitably follow have provided musical director Don Was an outlet for his eclectic talented friends and associates since 2012's Johnny Cash themed gig kicked things off. And even if some of the usual suspects such as Emmylou Harris, the late Gregg Allman (both the focus of previous Was-led concerts), Buddy Miller and veteran backing keyboardist Matthew Rollings make this seem as though he's trotting out his tried and true roots music club members, Was brings artists like Ryan Bingham, Bonnie Raitt, Otis Clay, Glen Hansard, Aaron Neville and the frontman and woman of the Arcade Fire in for this generally terrific celebration of all things Mavis".
