Free Music Notes for Music from Big Pink

Free Music Review: One of the albums that shaped music
Hit: 5 Stars

The Band provided a new model for rock music with Big Pink. They combined what they learned from working with Dylan with their own take on Americana (even though they were mostly Canadians) to come up with a set of sophisticated, timeless, well crafted songs. The arrangements showcased the excellent musicianship of the entire group, rich in subtleties while deliberately avoiding the extended soloing that was popular at the time. The result was the first in several superb albums from one of the most important bands of the last century.

Music from Big Pink Poster

Music from Big Pink stands as one of those rare albums that turned the rock world on its axis. On this record, released in 1968 at the height of the psychedelic revolution, the five members of the Band (along with producer-sideman John Simon) eschewed spacey diversions, opting for an earthier route. Soon enough, wah-wah pedals and tape loops were making way for fiddles and mandolins. The group's most democratic effort (Robbie Robertson would soon emerge as the ensemble's mouthpiece), the debut's 11 songs come from Robertson, bassist Rick Danko, and pianist Richard Manuel, who contributes two songs and cowrote the doleful opener, "Tears of Rage," with Bob Dylan. Manuel's role would diminish from this point hence and the balance he brought to the quintet would be missed. Many would argue that Big Pink's sequel, The Band, represents their crowning achievement. The truth is, Big Pink is the purest distillation of the Band, and their preeminent recording. This remastered reissue is generously expanded to include nine bonus tracks, a bunch highlighted by a Robertson rarity ("Ferdinand the Imposter") and a cover of the Stanley Brothers's "If I Lose." --Steven Stolder
