| Summary |
"July 2018 marks fifty years since The Band first released their groundbreaking debut album, Music from Big Pink, which grew out of sessions at the group's big pink house in the woods of Ulster County, New York. A celebration of their music, this unofficial retrospective spans their career from their early days playing with Ronnie Hawkins and their collaborations with Bob Dylan to their tours, recordings, and landmark final show, The Last Waltz, filmed as a documentary by Martin Scorsese. Released forty years ago, it is still hailed as one of the greatest concert movies ever made. The Story of The Band features little-known and previously unpublished interviews with members of The Band as well as the scenemakers and musicians of the time--offering a rare behind-the-scenes look in the studio and onstage. Lushly illustrated with a trove of photographs and memorabilia, this is the ultimate book for all fans of The Band."--Back cover. |
