Free Music Notes for The Band
Free Music Review: One of the greatest albums ever
Hit: 5 Stars
The Band is the BAND and this is their best album. Every song is a gem. I almost regret that this version of the album, with added tracks, has been issued since the original with its 12 perfect songs doesn't need any additions. But don't let that stop you. From rollicking good time music like Rag Mama Rag and Jemima Surrender to the melancholy of Whispering Pines and Rocking Chair the Band does something very few albums or novels can do well: bring to a life a cast of characters from another time and make them human.
While every song is great, King Harvest stands at the top of the Band's work with its desperate farmer pleading for nature to save his crops. The ensemble playing is incredible. The highest achievement in songwriting and performance.
The Band Poster
Popularly known as the "Brown Album," this is the collection people first think of when this august outfit's name is mentioned. The four-parts Canadian, one-part Arkansan quintet's sophomore effort boasts more soon-to-be-staples than any other Band studio recording, what with the likes of the Joan Baez hit "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "Across the Great Divide," and "Up on Cripple Creek" standing out among the dozen uniformly memorable tracks. Lesser-known group originals such as the achingly lovely "Whispering Pines" and the cryptic "Unfaithful Servant," however, play crucial roles in giving this 1969 classic its unique flavor. Given the high standard established by The Band and its better-still 1968 predecessor, Music from Big Pink, it's not surprising the Band peaked early as a recording group. As with all the 2000 Band reissues, this remastered reissue boasts a number of bonus tracks, though all but "Get Up Jake" are alternate takes of album selections. --Steven StolderPop Music CDs
