Our Review

This legendary quintet had already nailed successful stints backing rocker Ronnie Hawkins and electric folkie Bob Dylan by the time they retreated to a big pink house in Woodstock in 1967. They spent most of that year working with Dylan (see The Basement Tapes) and developing songs that would eventually appear on this miraculous, mysterious, and delightfully rambling debut. One listen to the opening cut made it abundantly clear that the Band was no ordinary band: an eerie, mournful, lumbering ballad, "Tears of Rage" (co-written by Dylan and Richard Manuel) sounded like nothing that had come before it--peculiar muted horns, a guitar played through a whirling organ speaker, disjointed percussion, and a tormented vocal performance by Rick Danko. All of the tracks on Big Pink followed suit, each creating its own distinct aura with an odd mix of musical influences and hanging-together-by-a-thread ensemble playing. Robbie Robertson's "The Weight" remains a '60s hallmark while two more Dylan-penned cuts, "This Wheel's on Fire" (co-written with Danko) and "I Shall Be Released," end things in memorable fashion.

Customer Reviews

Wow first to review this. (5 stars)
One of the great rock and roll albums of all time, a life changing (in terms of musical tastes) piece of work that fully engages genius from the first rack to the last. is 5 stars really sufficient? I guess it will have to be.

One of the best... (5 stars)
One of the greatest albums ever recorded. Rarely, if ever gets its due, this album is simply a masterpiece. At 7.99, an unbelieveable bargain. The demos and outakes are all excellent as well.

What Nobody Mentions (4 stars)
Seldom does anyone bother to mention that this album includes an out-of-left-field psychedelic piece "Chest Fever" from a group that did no other psychedelic music! Among
people I knew, this album was known as "the one with that psychedelic song" for whatever that's worth...Everything else falls into their own unique catagory.

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s

For roughly half a decade, from 1968 through 1975, the Band was one of the most popular and influential rock groups in the world, their music embraced by critics (and, to a somewhat lesser degree, the public) as seriously as the music of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Their albums were analyzed and reviewed as intensely as any records by their one-time employer and sometime mentor Bob Dylan. Although the Band retired from touring after The Last Waltz and disbanded several...
