'Music From Big Pink'

I sought out this album from The Band after reading "Get Back: The Unauthorized Chronicle of The Beatles Let It Be Disaster."

The book is pretty dry for the ordinary music fan: It's almost minute-by-minute detail of the The Beatles' aborted Let it Be sessions in which they were being filmed for a documentary.

Not only do you get to learn about details about The Beatles musicianship, song craftmanship and songwriting, but you also learn about what The Beatles were watching or listening to.

Like anyone, they come in and talk about the programs on the TV the night before or whatever albums they're listening to -- Cream, Bob Dylan and The Band, particularly "Music From Big Pink," released in 1968.

It seemed to be a favorite of George Harrison, but listened to by all involved. This is most interesting because at this time, Harrison was probably writing the best songs of his life, most of which would be included on the 1970 album, "All Things Must Pass."

Overall, I kinda think The Band's overrated.
