GREATEST HITS","description":"The Band: Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko (vocals, various instruments).\r\nAdditional personnel includes: Byron Berline (fiddle); John Simon (tuba, piano); Billy Mundi (drums).\r\nIncludes liner notes by Rob Bowman.\r\nDigitally remastered by Ron McMaster \u0026amp; Andrew Sandoval (May 2000, Capitol Mastering).\r\nPersonnel: Robbie Robertson (vocals, guitar); Garth Hudson (vocals, keyboards); Levon Helm (vocals, drums); Rick Danko (vocals).\r\nLiner Note Author: Rob Bowman.\r\nThough they were predominantly Canadian, the Band wrote the proverbial book on what would come to be known as Americana roots-rock. After years of backing everyone from rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins to Bob Dylan, they emerged as a creative force in their own right at the end of the 1960s. They were just in time to spearhead a movement away from the acid-rock excesses of the '60s, toward a simpler, more down-home musical mindset heavily informed by folk, country, and blues. GREATEST HITS offers a definitive look at the Rushmore-like legacy they left behind through their classic recordings.\r\nGarth Hudson's quirky Lowery organ sound (quite distinct from the Hammond most rock organists favored) wheezed and ground; Robbie Robertson's terse, blues-influenced guitar licks snapped at the singers' heels; and Levon Helm's syncopated, hillbilly-funky drumming turned the time ever so slightly askew. Atop it all, the rough-hewn harmonies of Helm, bassist Rick Danko, and pianist Richard Manuel carried Robertson's masterfully crafted tales of an America more imagined than remembered, coming off like preachers tossed off the pulpit for carousing and general rowdiness, but still obviously close to God's heart.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 9\/26\/2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Band.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186919231729,"sku":"R3N0XU-WD62-AE","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4401\/5345\/files\/band-greatest-hits_TYuSq.jpg?v=1748729039","url":"https:\/\/outofthepastrecords.com\/es\/products\/band-greatest-hits","provider":"Out of the Past Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
