For America, 1968 was one of the most turbulent times witnessed since the finish of the World War II, with counterculture growing in force and size, leading the charge against any form of authority or leadership. And it was rock music that was given the charge of railing against the forces, becoming almost another form of protest music, but with psychedelia instead of folk. And then in the same year as Electric Ladyland and The Beatles, comes MusicFromBigPink, an album built around roots/folk-rock that was completely against the grain.
For a group that had previously been the backing band for Bob Dylan's infamous 1966 world tour that shocked its audience with its use rock backing for someone who was previously seen as the cover boy for folk music, this was not the expected route. But ultimately the album went on to inspire ...

~~ NEW YORK, NEW YORK ~~
Another movie from my musical collection and believe it or not before this viewing I had never seen it before, so I had no idea what to expect. I was also quiet surprised that it was a relatively young film, compared to a lot of good musicals, it opened in America in 1977. I knew the song New York, New York by Frank Sinatra, but I had never heard of the film.
~~ The Film ~~
The movie tells the complicated love story of two very talented people, both having strong personalities and creative talents which don't always gel together.

Album Notes
The Band emerged from months of seclusion with this enthralling debut album. It followed a lengthy spell accompanying Bob Dylan, which culminated in sessions known as THE BASEMENT TAPES. Three songs herein were revived from those recordings, and the remainder showed a similar pastoral spirit. Where contemporaries sought expression in studio experimentation, the Band focused on a largely reflective and down-to-earth mindset, creating atmosphere from traditional forms and distilling the results in an economical style. The Band's ensemble playing and rural voices were best captured on "The Weight," an elliptical composition that displayed their craft to perfection. Americana of every hue can be gleaned from this collection, the depth of which left a marked impression on audiences and musicians alike.
