I think if I had watched the accompanying documentaries first I would have been worried. Joe tells us everything will be great and that he has always wanted to do an all acoustic concert with unusual instruments, but somehow you are not sure you believe him. However, the music really is good as long as you are not expecting the heavy blues rock sound that Joe was and is famous for (and why would you?). I admit that I am quite a fan of acoustic blues and celtic folk so I was very happy to hear the fiddle, accordion and the amazing nyckelharpa giving some of Joe's material a new lease of life.
Maybe not for everyone but I would welcome another acoustic venture along these lines.
