The Band : The Band (Bone White Vinyl)(NAD 2025)

The four-parts Canadian, one-part Arkansan quintet’s sophomore effort boasts more soon-to-be-staples than any other Band studio recording, what with the likes of the Joan Baez hit ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’, ‘Across the Great Divide’, and ‘Up on Cripple Creek’ standing out among the dozen uniformly memorable tracks. Lesser-known group originals such as the achingly lovely ‘Whispering Pines’ and the cryptic ‘Unfaithful Servant’, however, play crucial roles in giving this 1969 classic its unique flavour.
