I know this is not a popular opinion, but A Change Is Gonna Come, written by Sam Cooke, is my favorite track on The Band's album Moondog Matinee, released on October 15, 1973. One of my favorite Rick's vocal performances. Soulful. 📷John Scheele youtu.be/byqq8iqKZv8?si…

The Band's self-titled album is associated with autumn, especially its last song. King Harvest (Has Surely Come) showcases so perfectly the talent of Richard, Robbie, Levon, Garth, and of course, of Rick, who plays here one of his most popular bass lines. youtu.be/lxzQChNxQQ8?si…

"I feel autumn in the air" 🍂 Written by Rick Danko, Home Cookin' was recorded in 1976, but wasn't released until 2005 on the box set A Musical History. Robbie Robertson said about this song: "When I hear it my heart breaks, because it's so beautiful." youtu.be/RaYr1VWj6yE?si…

Van Morrison will celebrate his birthday on August 31. Former resident of Woodstock and friend of The Band, he joined them at The Last Waltz in 1976 and offered one of the most memorable performances of the concert. And what to say about the purple suit? youtu.be/4q9GDvXI0rk

This week marks the anniversary of Rock Of Ages, a live album released by The Band on August 15, 1972. The entire album is a masterpiece. Don’t Do It, the first track (after the introduction) is no exception and showcases the genius of the rhythm section. youtu.be/-c_E-W3yhHY
