The Band -- "Music From Big Pink"/"The Band"/"Stagefright"/"Cahoots" (Capitol/EMI) canoe.ca It's a very short list indeed; artists whose work deserves a place in any record collection. But the cross-border assemblage known as The Band is worthy of that status, without qualification. At the height of flower-power, Canadians Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson joined Arkansas' Levon Helm and retired to rural Upstate New York to forge a musical union that explored North American roots music and would yield timeless songs like "The Weight," "This Wheel's On Fire," "Rag Mama Rag," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and "Up On Cripple Creek." These long-overdue reissues expand the The Band's catalogue with 25 new songs, spread across four albums. "Music From Big Pink" alone has grown from 11 to 20 tracks. The sound has been upgraded, the booklets feature liner notes from Toronto musicologist Rob Bowman, and this is just the first in what is a projected full reissue campaign.
