Free Music Notes for The Band
Free Music Review: One in Every Crowd
Hit: 2 Stars
I just never really got these guys. I remember when they hit the scene and everybody when banannas about the purity of the music and the "back to basics" stuff. Yeah I know that Dylan loved them and that is where the world first saw Robbie Robertson and the rest, but I just never could get excited about it all. I also own Stage Fright and several of Robertson's solo efforts. Nothing from these guys ever struck me as anything other than mediocre and never creative or artistic. They are just a band, The Band, they got that name. Oh well. Free Music Review: American Masterpice

"A Customer", I couldn't have done a better review of this one if I tried. I was in college, grooving to Cream, Hendrix and the SF sound when I heard "The Gilded Palace of Sin"... Changed my musical life. Then came "The Brown Album" and that sealed it. Two absolute musical essentials. The Band was the greatest American band of the past 50 years and "The Band "was their masterpieceFree Music Review: Tobacco Spit

If you are as immensely fond of Robbie Robertson's mature, intense, post-"The Band" solo projects as I am, how on earth can you look back at this "primitive," self-titled Band album with any other emotion than disgust? From first track to last, this is stumblebum "wino" music as slovenly and repellent as the visuals in a Sam-Peckinpah-directed Western. "The Band" is a master piece all right: a highfalutin spittoon. "Catch the spirit. Catch the spit." Free Music Review: The extra tracks don't add too much, but a classic is a classic

This is the third time I bought this album; first in vinyl a long time ago, then in a CD, which got lost somewhere, so I rebought it because of Look out Cleveland and Jawbone. Hadn't heard it in years; still their best studio album. Like the Band??? Buy it.Free Music Review: the best of the Band
Hit: 5 Stars
This album, front to back, is easily one of the best releases of the 20th century. From the opening number 'across the great divide' down to possibly the Bands best song, 'King Harvest (has surely come)', the album creates a one of a kind vibe of americana, rock n' roll, country and soul music.
Highlights include 'Whispering Pines', with its amazing soulful vocals by the late Richard Manuel, 'Jawbone' a unique composition with its awesomely layered harmonies complimented by a rocking chorus, 'When you awake' with its oddly superb guitar and one of Rick Danko's finest vocals, and to top it all off 'King Harvest'. One doesn't find a better song to finish an album than this number. With its mixture of Rock/Soul/Funk and Country it just takes you into this world of a farmer struggling on his farm.
Although everything about this album has been said on the other reviews, I felt the need to brown nose the brown album a little bit more. Being a musician, this album is to me as water is to a swimmer, essential.
