Echo in the Canyon (soundtrack)

Echo in the Canyon is a soundtrack for the documentary film of the same name.

Reception

Aidin Vaziri of The San Francisco Chronicle said the soundtrack "rings hollow", stating, "Dylan’s deep, oddly expressionless voice doesn’t necessarily do any favors to a genre known for its marked warmth, and his slick band of studio musicians adds to the disconnect," while praising the talent of the album's many guests. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commented, "Since everybody involved is a pro, this is tight, not loose, which means every cut feels a little too tidy and straight. Dylan proves to be an amiable host, [...] and the mellow camaraderie is appealing and even ingratiating. It isn't especially compelling, though."
