The Bands landmark debut album, Music from Big Pink, seemed to spring from nowhere and everywhere. Drawing from the American roots music panoply of country, blues, R&B, gospel, soul, rockabilly, the honking tenor sax tradition, hymns, funeral dirges, brass band music, folk, and rock n roll, The Band forged a timeless new style that forever changed the course of popular music. Fifty years later, the mythology surrounding Music from Big Pink lives on through the evocative storytelling of its songs including The Weight, This Wheels On Fire, Tears of Rage, and To Kingdom Come, its enigmatic cover art painted by Bob Dylan, the salmon-colored upstate New York house Big Pink -- where The Band wrote the songs, and in myriad descendant legends carried forth since the albums stunning arrival.
Capitol/UMe release Music from Big Pink in newly remixed and expanded 50th Anniversary Edition packages. All the Anniversary Edition configurations feature a new stereo mix for the album, produced by Bob Clearmountain from the original four-track analog masters, achieving a striking clarity and incorporating some previously unreleased chatter from the studio sessions.
180-gram 2LP black vinyl.
