Islands
The Band’s seventh studio album, “Islands,” was released in 1977 to mixed reviews and marked the final album from the group’s original lineup. The album features primarily previously unreleased songs from the Band’s career, including their 1976 rendition of “Georgia on My Mind.” It was released to fulfill the group’s contract with Capitol Records so Warner Bros. Records could release their film soundtrack to “The Last Waltz.”
Music From Big Pink
The Band’s landmark debut album, July 1968’s Music From Big Pink, drew inspiration from the American roots music melting pot of country, blues, R&B, gospel, soul, rockabilly, the honking tenor sax tradition, hymns, funeral dirges, brass band music, folk and good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll to foment a timeless new style that forever changed the course of popular music.
