Free Music Notes for The Band - Greatest Hits Album
Free Music Review: A valid effort, but true fans will want the remasters.
Hit: 3 Stars
There is no question that The Band are musicians best appreciated and understood by taking the time to listen to their albums individually. That is the only way to experience the impressive creativity and diversity of their music, and to see the occasional near perfection - as well the occasional clunker -in their truly original body of work. That said, if you are not such a purist that the mere thought of a "Best Of" makes you shudder, this is a valid effort at bringing together a retrospective, and quite frankly, I'm glad to not have put in Cahoots just hear the the two songs I like off of it. All fans will miss something here and may take issue with some choices (I immediately noted the absence of a "Ring Your Bell" from Northern Lights Southern Cross and "Jemima Surrender" from The Band, and question if "Saga of Pepote Rouge" is the best representation from Islands). The thing I liked best about this CD is the liner notes, which include great descriptions of the instruments, and the techniques used to play them, on certain songs. The notes also give due credit to Robbie Robertson, not only for his highly skillful, miminmalist guitar style but for his songwriting abilities. At his finest, no one has written better narrative folk/rock songs than Robertson. The other great thing about this CD is the sound. I also got the remasters of Music from Big Pink and The Band when I got this album, and my old CDs of NLSC and Islands sounded so flat and sad in comparison I think I will wait for those remasters before listening to them again!
