Music From Big Pink

by The Band

An unbelievable debut from Bob Dylan's backing band, made whilst Dylan recovered from a motorcycle accident in 1968. They moved out to Woodstock, where The Band rented a big pink house where they created a live sounding album drenched in folklore, Americana and a certain mythology unlike anything heard before. It's an album that never fails to transport you to another place and time. To give one song in particular a mention, "The Weight" might be up there with one of my favourite songs of all time.

Una de las maravillosas sensaciones que nos proporciona la música es la de “descubrir” tardíamente a una de esas bandas que te has pasado la vida ignorando de manera más o menos consciente. Afortunadamente, siempre llega el momento si esperas lo suficiente, y el mío con The Band llegó hace unos meses a raíz de ver su magnífico concierto de despedida rodado por Scorsese.
