THE BAND : MUSIC FROM BIG PINK [Capitol]
€30.00
"Music From Big Pink" is The Band's debut album.The record features a blend of styles,
from country, rock, folk to R&B and blues, with a notable influence from Bob Dylan, who both co-wrote and co-produced some of the songs. The album came as a surprise. At first blush, the group seemed to affect the sound of a loose jam session, alternating emphasis on different instruments, while the lead and harmony vocals passed back and forth as if the singers were making up their blend on the spot. In retrospect, the arrangements seemed far more considered and crafted to support a group of songs that took family, faith, and rural life as their subjects and proceeded to imbue their values with uncertainty.
