Popularly known as the "Brown Album," this is the collection people first think of when this outfit's name is mentioned. The four-parts Canadian, one-part Arkansan quintet's effort boasts more soon-to-be-staples than any other Band studio recording, what with the likes of the JOAN BAEZ hit "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "Across the Great Divide," and "Up on Cripple Creek" standing out among the dozen uniformly memorable tracks.

Lesser-known group originals such as the achingly lovely "Whispering Pines" and the cryptic "Unfaithful Servant," however, play crucial roles in giving this 1969 classic its unique flavor. Given the high standard established by THE BAND and its better-still 1968 predecessor, MUSIC FROM THE BIG PINK it's not surprising the Band peaked early as a recording group.

Tracks include:  Across The Great Divide - Rag Mama Rag - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - When You Awake - Up On Cripple Creek - Whispering Pines - Jemima Surrender - Rockin' Chair - Look Out Cleveland - Jawbone - The Unfaithful Servant - King Harvest

The Band members: 

Garth Hudson/Organ, Claviinette, Piano, Accordian, Soprano, Tenor and Baritone-Sax and Slide Trumpet

Richard Manuel/Vocals, Piano, Drums, Baritone-Sax and Mouth Harp

Levon Helm/Vocals, Drums, Mandolin and Guitar

Rick Danko/Vocals, Bass, Violin and Trombone

Jaime Robbie Robertson/Guitar and EngineerThe 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

The Band's second album, self titled, is probably better known as the Brown Album and is the group's most familiar piece of work. Some major tunes from this album include the Joan Baez hit "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "Up On Cripple Creek" and "Across the Great Divide".

"The Band was four-fifths Canadian — drummer Levon Helm was from Arkansas — but its second album was all American. Guitarist Robbie Robertson's songs vividly evoke the country's pioneer age — "Across the Great Divide," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" — while pointedly reflecting the state of the nation in the 1960s. The Band's long life on the road resonates in the brawn of Garth Hudson's keyboards and Helm's juke-joint attack. But Robertson's stories truly come to life in Helm's man-of-the-soil growl, Rick Danko's high tenor and Richard Manuel's spectral croon. "Somebody once said he had a tear in his voice," Helm said of Manuel. "Richard had one of the richest, textured voices I'd ever heard." - ROLLINGSTONE 

"Robertson, a Canadian, vividly depicted the Civil War-era South in this moving dirge. 'I remember taking him to the library so he could research the history and geography,' said Levon Helm, the Band's only American, whose gritty vocal evoked the interior struggle of someone trying to make sense of a lost cause - like, in 1969, the war in Vietnam." - Rolling Stone

The Band The Band – released in 1969, this famous classic is best known as the "Brown Album." This historic album put The Band in the mainstream consciousness and remains a timeless classic. The Band was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and this is the album that put them there. Their influence on the music scene started as the backup band for Bob Dylan on his 1965-66 world tour. When they started recording on their own, with a contract from Capitol Records, this, their second album, was the top of their creative spark. Mastered from the analog Capitol master mixes.
