........................... Band, The - The Band (24 Karat Gold CD, Limited Edition) .................................................
Fans von „The Band" nennen dieses Album schlichtweg wegen der Coverfarbe „das braune Album". Dies war das zweite Album der Band und Kritiker bestanden darauf diese Songs, mit ihrem Südstaateneinschlag und ihren Geschichten über das Leben der einfachen Menschen, für die amerikanische Antwort auf die Rolling Stones und die Beatles zu halten. Leider war die Band bei weitem nicht so erfolgreich wie die britischen Kollegen. Dennoch ist in ihrem Sound eine deutliche Weiterentwicklung gegenüber ihrer Tour-Zeit mit Bob Dylan zu erkennen.
Dieses Re-Issue wurde von den Masterbändern durch Steve Hoffman neu abgemischt und auf einer 24-Karat-Gold-CD mit HDCD-Codierung angeboten. Auch wenn die Bilder der CD dies nicht sofort zeigen, so liegt selbstverständlich ein Booklet mit den damaligen Abbildungen bei.

Initially renowned as Bob Dylan's backing group, the Band emerged from the singer's shadow to proclaim a distinctive talent. Drawing upon a musical canon embracing soul, country, folk and rock `n' roll, the quintet created a unique sound that was quintessentially American. Its rustic qualities were enhanced by principle songwriter Robbie Robertson who created vistas suggestive of a pre-industrial age, and as such, captured the restlessness of the late 60s without the need for explicit manifestos. Expressive singing, sublime melodies and telepathic musicianship instils The Band with quality, but its adult themes and perspectives ensure an absolute timelessness. An all-time critics' favourite.
The Band's first album, Music from Big Pink, seemed to come out of nowhere, with its ramshackle musical blend and songs of rural tragedy. The Band, the group's second album, was a more deliberate and even more accomplished effort, partially because the players had become a more cohesive unit, and partially because guitarist Robbie Robertson had taken over the songwriting, writing or co-writing all 12 songs. Though a Canadian, Robertson focused on a series of American archetypes from the union worker in "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)" and the retired sailor in "Rockin' Chair" to, most famously, the Confederate Civil War observer Virgil Cane in "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." The album effectively mixed the kind of mournful songs that had dominated Music from Big Pink, here including "Whispering Pines" and "When You Awake" (both co-written by Richard Manuel), with rollicking uptempo numbers like "Rag Mama Rag" and "Up on Cripple Creek" (both sung by Levon Helm and released as singles, with "Up on Cripple Creek" making the Top 40). As had been true of the first album, it was the Band's sound that stood out the most, from Helm's (and occasionally Manuel's) propulsive drumming to Robertson's distinctive guitar fills and the endlessly inventive keyboard textures of Garth Hudson, all topped by the rough, expressive singing of Manuel, Helm, and Rick Danko that mixed leads with harmonies. The arrangements were simultaneously loose and assured, giving the songs a timeless appeal, while the lyrics continued to paint portraits of 19th century rural life (especially Southern life, as references to Tennessee and Virginia made clear), its sometimes less savory aspects treated with warmth and humor.
