Reviews
"...Brilliant....Enhancing One's Admiration for Their Achievements...", .MUSIC FROM BIG PINK is an event and should be treated as one...This album was recorded in approximately two weeks...There are people who will work their lives away in vain and not touch it. - Al Kooper, Ranked #34 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...An instant homespun classic...", "...One of the best albums in rock history....These remasterings sound incredibly rich, and each has alternate takes....this is reissuing done right." - Rating: A, 5 Stars-Excellent, 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "It’s one of the most welcoming albums in the history of rock – a shaggy-dog story about love, death and American sin that reels you in from the opening line.", "Beyond its myth or this questionable new remix, the debut album from the Band made roots music sound as impressionistic and idiosyncratic as any other kind of rock’n’roll. It was revolutionary.", "...Austere yet fascinating, enduringly impressive both as an aesthetic manifesto and a wonderfully understated display of controlled artistry, MUSIC FROM BIG PINK remains a landmark recording which no serious collector can be without...", "...In its mixture of the mundane and the weird, of traditional and avant-garde gestures, BIG PINK retains all of that original transfixing magic...", 5 stars out of 5 - "...Almost anonymously shifted the boundaries for what rock might aspire to be....it's still a collection to rake the breath away...", 5 stars out of 5 - "...One of rock's few perfect albums, an immaculate reflection of its times with master fictions told with the spit and color of a fur trapper's memoirs...the bonus tracks are sweet gravy...", 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...Invoking the experience of working-class folks through music and words...this overflowed with distinctive singing and musicianship...", 4 stars (out of 5) - "1968 melange...laced with staggeringly affecting singing....For lovers of Deserter's Songs, the album and the things."
