Music From Big Pink - The Band

Over the years 1968's Music From Big Pink has come to be regarded as a watershed work in the history of Rock. The Band were Bob Dylans Back Up Band and Big Pink was the house in Woodstock where they hung out in the late Sixties. Dylan collaborated on Tears Of Rage and I Shall Be Released and This Wheels On Fire was to be reworked years later as the theme tune to Absolutely Fabulous. At the time it didn't sell too well despite rave reviews from Rolling Stone. The Weight charted at No. 63, but gained huge popularity the following year when it featured on the Soundtrack of Easy Rider.
Eric Clapton was so blown away by this album that he disbanded Cream and went of in search of a new sound.
On Thursday Mornings Live Drive we'll be playing Tears Of Rage, I Shall Be Released, This Wheels On Fire and, of course, The Weight
