Comment:

The Band’s back-to-basics style was far removed from the psychedelic sounds that were all the rage when they started out. Instead of tarting up their tunes with trippy touches, they dug deeply into their roots for inspiration. “Ain’t Got No Home” was a 1956 hit for New Orleans R&B kingpin Clarence “Frogman” Henry, but when Levon laid his Southern mojo on the track, it instantly became a Band song. “Ain’t No More Cane” started out as a traditional Texas work song, but by the time it found its way to Bob Dylan and the Band’s Basement Tapes, it was transformed into a Cajun/bluegrass/country hybrid stomp. And, of course, the lost world that critic Greil Marcus famously dubbed “the old, weird America” lived and breathed anew in Band compositions like “The W.S. Walcott Medicine Show.”
