It seems odd that the Band emerged in 1968, defying the counterculture's extravagant rejections of U.S. culture with literary, often Southern-tinged musical and lyrical vehicles. Hearing this 18-song anthology, with its heavy weighting toward the Canadian quintet's first three albums--Music from Big Pink (four tunes), The Band (five tunes), and Stage Fright (three tunes)--what still stands out is the Band's command of yearning vocal harmonies, their sense of plainly laid melodies that reveal acoustic depth, and a nostalgia for an imagined American culture. With all their quirkiness and the advance of Robbie Robertson as their centerpiece, the Band lost their celebrated place in the rock pantheon within a decade. This set, which opens so magnificently with "The Weight," "Tears of Rage" (cowritten with Dylan), and the big organ-vamping "Chest Fever," declines rather steeply on the final tracks, "Acadian Driftwood" and "The Saga of Pepote Rouge." Up till then, however, this set is fantastic. --Andrew Bartlett

I love this CD. The Band's music is just outstanding. "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" are the major hits on here but some of the lesser known songs to the casual fan are just as great. "Chest Fever" is just too cool. "It Makes No Difference" will almost bring a tear to your eye. "Ophelia" and "Rag Mama Rag" make you want to party. My favorite is still "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Being born and raised in the south as my father and his father ... Read More
