HMV Review

None of the Band's previous work gave much of a clue about how they would sound when they released their first album in July 1968. As it was, Music from Big Pink came as a surprise. At first blush, the group seemed to affect the sound of a loose jam session, alternating emphasis on different instruments, while the lead and harmony vocals passed back and forth as if the singers were making up their blend on the spot. In retrospect, especially as the lyrics sank in, the arrangements seemed far more considered and crafted to support a group of songs that took family, faith, and rural life as their subjects and proceeded to imbue their values with uncertainty. Some songs took on the theme of declining institutions less clearly than others, but the points were made musically as much as lyrically. Tenor Richard Manuel's haunting, lonely voice gave the album much of its frightening aspect, while Rick Danko's and Levon Helm's rough-hewn styles reinforced the songs' rustic fervor. The dominant instrument was Garth Hudson's often icy and majestic organ, while Robbie Robertson's unusual guitar work further destabilized the sound. The result was an album that reflected the turmoil of the late '60s in a way that emphasized the tragedy inherent in the conflicts. Music from Big Pink came off as a shockingly divergent musical statement only a year after the ornate productions of Sgt. Pepper, and initially attracted attention because of the three songs Bob Dylan had either written or co-written. However, as soon as "The Weight" became a minor singles chart entry, the album and the group made their own impact, influencing a movement toward roots styles and country elements in rock. Over time, Music from Big Pink came to be regarded as a watershed work in the history of rock, one that introduced new tones and approaches to the constantly evolving genre.

    なんたる地味・・・・。とこのアルバムを最初に聴いたときぼくはそう思った。当時ブルース・スプリングスティーンやTOTOなどを聴いていたのでそう思ったのかも知れない。ぼくがこのアルバムの内に秘めた心臓の鼓動音やギラギラと流れる血、漲る情熱を本当に感じたのは今から10年ほど前のことになる。ちょうど40歳になろうとしている頃だ。実はこの【The Band / Music From The Big Pink】はある程度年を重ねないと理解できない。もちろん1回聴いただけでは理解できるはずもなく当然何度も聴く。これを繰り返さないとザ・バンドの主張や表現が形なって見えてこないのである。このアルバムについてのボブ・ディランのことや「Big Pink」のことは専門誌などで多く語られてきたのでここでは語らない。  ただ、ストレートに深い表現であることや、一見地味に聴こえるので、「ただ無心で何度も聴く」このことがこの【The Band / Music From The Big Pink】を理解するために一番重要なことなのである。そして何かを感じ取れるようになればさらに深く聴きこむ。  そしていつかわかるときがくる。このアルバムが「モンスター・アルバム」であることを・・・。

    これまでは「良いアルバムだけど雑なアルバム」な印象でしたが SACDで聴くと様々な音で濃密に作られたアルバムだと気付く。 ステレオでも部屋を包み込む音の拡がりに驚いた。 ロックはSACDにする必要がない。という声を聴くが、SACDは単にオーディオリファレンスだけでなく、アーティストの詰めた伝えたい音を漏れる事なく我が家へ届けてくれる器の大きさに意義がある(それだけでもなく、もっと利点はある) 丁寧なマスタリングはさすがモービル

    Many people think that , THE BAND , were an American , band. THEY were NOT. 4 of their members where born and grew up in , CANADA. ROBBIE ROBERTSON , was born , Ontario , Canada , and he was this group’s main song writer. THE BAND , were great Canadian song writers , like , NEIL YOUNG , JONI MITCHELL , RUSH and B.T.O. This was their best album and this version sounds excellent.
