156. The Band | The Band (1969)



Tracks
  1. Across the Great Divide
  2. Rag Mama Rag
  3. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
  4. When You Awake
  5. Up on Cripple Creek
  6. Whispering Pines
  7. Jemima Surrender
  8. Rockin' Chair
  9. Look Out Cleveland
  10. Jawbone
  11. The Unfaithful Servant
  12. King Harvest (Has Surely Come)

The Band is an disappointing album. This is a good example of good musicians making uninspiring music. The songs sound flat, dull and muted.

I was expecting to like this album since it is highly acclaimed. But I've listened to it many times over and it just can't keep my attention. Maybe I just don't get it.

The good songs are Across the Great Divide, Up on Cripple Creek and King Harvest (Has Surely Come).

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
