Tom Loeprich's Album Reviews
The Band are one of those rare acts that manage to follow up an amazing debut album with a sophomore effort that is equal to or better than the first. While we still find many of those rustic and weary 19th century characters we met on "Music From Big Pink" their tales seem to be imbued with more warmth. Of course there's that incredible musicianship (Garth Hudson is the secret weapon here). And vocal turns between Helm, Danko & Manuel that run the gamut from ebullient to heart wrenching. Americana rock at it's greatest.
