#45: The Band- The Band

Listened to: MP3

A terrific second album by one of the greatest bands in American history. “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”, “Rag Mama Rag” and “Up On Cripple Creek”, normally songs with little competition on rock radio, have to fight for your attention with great tracks like “Jawbone” and “Across The Great Divide”. Without a doubt, The Band’s self-titled album is also their best. If I wasn’t on my way to Crazy Heart right now, and working on a film set the next two days, I’d set aside the time to watch The Last Waltz. Well, the director is a Scorcese fan…

Sorry to keep this one short. The next two will be too. Busy days. Unfortunately, I’m spending Valentine’s Day with the band, no lovers. Anywho, come back tomorrow for #419: Dummy by Portishead.
