Whispering Pines: Live at the Getaway 1985

Search: Great Divide
by: Richard Manuel

Release Date March 26, 2007
Unlike the other members of The Band Richard Manuel never released a solo album during his lifetime so when I heard of this release a few years back I was quick to snap it up on import. The CD captures a performance at The Getaway Club in upstate New York in 1985. Musicians supporting Richard include Band members Rick Danko and Jim Weider (who would form part of the reunited Band). Richard's voice was passed it's prime at this point but he still manages to deliver an incredible performance singing Band hits such as `The Shape I'm In' and `Across the Great Divide' and standards like `You Don't Know Me' and `Georgia On My Mind' faltering only on (ironically given that he wrote them) Tear's of Rage (Rick Danko has to step in) and Whispering Pines ...

The Band [VINYL]

Search: Great Divide
by: Band

Release Date November 03, 2008
I discovered The Band through being a fan of Bob Dylan. The story goes that one night they were at a venue and were asked who they were, and they answered, "We're The Band," as they were still with Dylan at the time.

This is a nice foray into traditional American, semi-country music with a very homely feel and some really moving and profound lyrics. It's easy to listen to but also stimulating and thought provoking.

The song which introduced me to their music was The Night They Drove Old Dixie down, and when I started listening to this album, I realised there were a few other tracks I know and I suspect the same would apply to most people who are just starting to get into the music of The Band. Examples are Rag Mama Rag, ... Read More:
