2019 soundtrack album by Various artists
Echo in the Canyon is a soundtrack for the documentary film of the same name.[1][2]
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.[3] 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."[2]
