The Greatest Music
Music From Big Pink
by The Band
The 104th greatest album of all time
Music From Big Pink, released in 1968 by The Band, presents a warm, roots-based blend of rock, folk, country and Americana. The record emphasizes close ensemble vocals, piano and organ textures, and understated acoustic and electric guitar work, with narrative songwriting and roomy, organic arrangements. Emerging from the group’s work backing Bob Dylan, the album helped crystallize a roots rock approach and features songs such as "The Weight" and "Tears of Rage".
