Saugerties is a Town in Ulster County, New York, USA. The population was 19868 at the 2000 census They recorded two of the most acclaimed albums of the late 1960s; their 1968 debut Music from Big Pink (featuring the single "The Weight") and 1969's The Band.

Their music fused many elements: primarily old country music and early rock and roll, though the rhythm section often was reminiscent of Stax or Motown, and Robertson cites Curtis Mayfield and the Staple Singers as major influences, resulting in a synthesis of many musical genres.

Every member was a multi-instrumentalist; in the above list, each person's primary instrument is listed first. There was little instrument-switching when they played live, but when recording, the musicians could make up different configurations in service of the songs. Hudson in particular was able to coax a wide range of timbres from his Lowrey electronic organ; on the choruses of "Tears of Rage", for example, it sounds like a mellotron. In Music, timbre (ˈtæm-bər' like timber, or, from Fr timbre tɛ̃bʁ is the quality of a Musical note or sound that distinguishes different An electronic organ is an Electronic keyboard instrument originally designed to imitate the sound of a Pipe organ.

Jim Keltner (born April 27 1942 in Tulsa Oklahoma) is a distinguished session drummer who has contributed to the work of many well-known artists

Singers Manuel, Danko, and Helm each brought a distinctive voice to the Band: Helm's southern voice had more than a hint of country, Danko sang in a tenor, and Manuel alternated between falsetto and baritone. Southern American English is a group of Dialects of the English language spoken throughout the Southern region of the United States, from Southern Country music is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States and the Appalachian Mountains. The singers regularly blended in harmonies. Though the singing was more or less evenly shared among the three men, both Danko and Helm have stated that they saw Manuel as the Band's "lead" singer.

Robertson was the unit's chief songwriter (he sang lead vocals on only three studio songs released by the Band: "To Kingdom Come", "Knockin' Lost John" and "Out Of The Blue"). This role, and Robertson's resulting claim to the copyright of most of the compositions, would become a point of much antagonism between the group's members, especially between Robertson and Helm, whose autobiography This Wheel's on Fire disputes Robertson's credits as chief songwriter. As the Band's songs were composed and recorded through intense collaboration between all its members, the dynamic was strained when Robertson was the only one entitled to royalties when the songs became covered by other artists in the late sixties and early seventies, such as Smith's version of "The Weight" for the Easy Rider soundtrack LP and Joan Baez's famous cover of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" in 1971.

History

Early years: The Hawks

The Hawks gradually came together as a backing unit for Toronto-based rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins: Helm first (he journeyed to Canada from Arkansas with Hawkins), then Robertson, Danko, Manuel and Hudson. Toronto (təˈrɒntoʊ colloquially pronounced or) is the largest city in Canada and is the provincial capital of Ontario Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of Rock and roll music and emerged in the early 1950s Ronald "Ronnie" Hawkins (born 10 January 1935, Huntsville, Arkansas, United States) is a pioneering Rock and roll Arkansas ( is a state located in the southern region of the United States. At the time, Hawkins was popular in Toronto, and had an effective way of eliminating his musical competition: when a promising band appeared, Hawkins would often hire their best musicians for his own group; Robertson, Danko and Manuel came under Hawkins' tutelage this way.

While most of the Hawks were eager to join Hawkins' group, getting Hudson to join was a different story. He'd earned a college degree, and planned on a career as a music teacher, and was interested in playing rock music only as a hobby. The Hawks were in awe of his wild, full-bore organ sound, and often begged him to join. Hudson finally relented, so long as the Hawks each paid him $10 per week to be their instructor: all music theory questions were directed to Hudson. Music theory is the field of study that deals with the Mechanics of music and how Music works While pocketing a little extra cash, Hudson was also able to mollify his family's fears that his education had gone to waste.

During The Last Waltz Hudson states, "There is a view that jazz is 'evil' because it comes from evil people, but actually the greatest priests on 52nd Street and on the streets of New York City were the musicians. The Last Waltz was a concert by the Canadian-American rock group The Band, held on Thanksgiving Day, November 25 1976 at Winterland Ballroom 52nd Street is a 19 mile long one-way Street traveling west to east across Midtown Manhattan. They were doing the greatest healing work. And they knew how to punch through music which would cure and make people feel good. " The piano-organ combination was uncommon in rock music, and for all his aggressive playing, Hudson also brought a level of musical sophistication.

With Hawkins they recorded a few singles in this period, and became well known as perhaps the best rock group in the thriving Toronto music scene.

By 1963, the group split from Hawkins over personal differences. They were tiring of playing the same songs so often and wanted to perform original material, and they were weary of Hawkins' somewhat dictatorial leadership. He would fine the Hawks if they brought their girlfriends to the clubs (fearing it might reduce the numbers of available girls who came to performances) or if they smoked marijuana (alcohol and pills were acceptable, but Canada then had stiff penalties against marijuana possession).

Robertson later said, "Eventually, he (Hawkins) built us up to the point where we outgrew his music and had to leave. He shot himself in the foot, really, bless his heart, by sharpening us into such a crackerjack band that we had to go on out into the world, because we knew what his vision was for himself, and we were all younger and more ambitious musically. "[2]

They recorded two singles and toured almost continually (usually billed as Levon and the Hawks), but they found little success, partly because without Hawkins, they lacked a magnetic frontman.

Also in 1963, Levon Helm met Cathy Smith, with whom he and other members of the Band would have a long association. Cathy Evelyn Smith (born 1948 in Hamilton, Ontario) is a former Backup singer and rock star Girlfriend, Groupie Smith later met and influenced musicians Gordon Lightfoot and Hoyt Axton, and was involved in the death of John Belushi. Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr, (born November 17, 1938) is a Canadian singer and songwriter who achieved international success in folk country and Hoyt Wayne Axton ( March 25, 1938 – October 26, 1999) was an American Country music Singer - Songwriter, John Adam Belushi ( January 24, 1949 – March 5, 1982) was an American Comedian, Actor and Musician

In 1965, Levon and the band met blues singer and harmonica player Sonny Boy Williamson. Aleck "Rice" Miller ( December 5 1899 or March 11 1908 – May 25 1965) a They wanted to record with him, offering to become his backing band, but Williamson died not long after their meeting.

With Bob Dylan

Their fortunes changed, however, following their recommendation to Bob Dylan by singer John P. Hammond, who'd recorded with some of the Hawks on his album So Many Roads. Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman, May 24 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota) is an American singer-songwriter author poet and painter who has been a major John P Hammond (born John Paul Hammond, 13 November 1942, New York) (often mistakenly known as "John Hammond Jr" which

Dylan invited them to tour with him. Levon and the Hawks were receptive to Dylan's offer, knowing it could give them the wider exposure they craved, but they simultaneously feared that their music was too different from his. They thought of themselves as a tightly rehearsed rock and rhythm and blues group, and they knew Dylan mostly from his early acoustic folk and protest music. Furthermore, they had little inkling of how internationally popular Dylan had become.

With Dylan, they played a tumultuous series of 1965 and 1966 concerts, marking Dylan's final change from folkie to rocker. According to some accounts (and as documented in a scene in Eat the Document) some of the Hawks joined in Dylan's reportedly copious drug use in this era. Eat the Document is a rarely exhibited documentary of Bob Dylan 's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. These tours remain some of the most storied in rock music history, and arguably mark a turning point in popular music.

At their best, Dylan and the Hawks were an electrifying live ensemble; These concerts saw them sometimes heckled by folk music purists (Helm was so bothered by the negative reception that he quit the group temporarily, instead working on an oil rig). Folk music can have a number of different meanings including Traditional music: The original meaning of the term "folk music" was synonymous

There were some abortive recording sessions with the Hawks, but Dylan was dissatisfied with the results. However, Robertson replaced Mike Bloomfield as Dylan's primary guitarist on sessions for Blonde on Blonde, released in mid-1966. For the astronaut see Michael J Bloomfield. Michael Bernard Bloomfield ( July 28 1943, Chicago, Illinois Blonde on Blonde is Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan 's seventh Studio album, released in 1966 by Columbia Records. The album's credits also include Danko on bass and Hudson on keyboards and sax.

With Mickey Jones replacing Helm, Dylan and the Hawks appeared at Manchester's Free Trade Hall in May, 1966. Mickey Jones (born June 10, 1941 in Houston Texas) is an American Musician and Actor. The Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England, was for many years a focal point for public debate and cultural activity in the city The gig became legendary when, towards the end of Dylan's electric set, an audience member shouted "Judas!". Judas Iscariot, יהודה איש־קריות Yəhûḏāh ʾΚ-qəriyyôṯ was according to the New Testament, one of the twelve original apostles After a pause, Dylan replied, "I don't believe you. You're a liar!" He then turned to the Hawks and said "Play it fucking loud!" just before they launched into an acidic version of "Like a Rolling Stone". " Like a Rolling Stone " is a song by American songwriter Bob Dylan.

This performance was widely bootlegged (and mistakenly placed at the Royal Albert Hall). A bootleg recording is an audio and/or Video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority The Royal Albert Hall is an Arts venue situated in the Knightsbridge area of the City of Westminster, London, England, best known The recording of this gig became one of the most famous of Dylan's career, often inspiring a rapturous response in those who heard it. A 1971 review from Creem stated "My response is that crystallization of everything that is rock'n'roll music, at its finest, was to allow my jaw to drop, my body to move, to leap out of the chair . Creem (whose trademark is capitalized CREEM) "America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine" was a monthly Rock 'n' roll Publication started . . It is an experience that one desires simply to share, to play over and over again for those he knows thirst for such pleasure. If I speak in an almost worshipful sense about this music, it is not because I have lost perspective, it is precisely because I have found it, within music, yes, that was made five years ago. But it is there and unignorable. "[3] When it finally saw official release in 1998, critic Richie Unterberger declared the record "an important document of rock history. The Bootleg Series Vol 4 Bob Dylan Live 1966 The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert is a live recording from Bob Dylan 's legendary "world tour" Richie Unterberger (b 1962 is an American author and journalist whose focus is popular music and travel writing "[4]

While on a break from touring, Dylan suffered a motorcycle accident, and retired into semi-seclusion in Woodstock, New York. Woodstock is a town in Ulster County, New York, United States. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous

For a while, the Hawks returned to the bar and roadhouse touring circuit, sometimes backing other singers (including a brief stint with Tiny Tim). Herbert Khaury ( April 12 1932 &ndash November 30 1996) better known by the Stage name Tiny Tim, was an American

Dylan invited the Hawks to join him in Woodstock, where they recorded a much-bootlegged and influential series of demos, subsequently released on LP as The Basement Tapes. The Basement Tapes is a Studio album by Bob Dylan and The Band, released in 1975 by Columbia Records.

Music from Big Pink and The Band

Reunited with Helm, the Hawks began writing their own songs in a rented large pink house in West Saugerties (near Woodstock). When they went into the recording studio, they still didn't have a name for themselves. They wanted to call themselves either "The Honkies" or "The Crackers", but these names were vetoed by their record label, who dubbed them "The Band" on the first pressings of Big Pink. Honky, Honkey or Honkie is a predominantly American Derogatory Racial slur for White people. " Cracker " sometimes " white cracker " is a Pejorative term for a white person, mainly used in the Southern United States Initially, they disliked the moniker, but eventually grew to like it, thinking it both humble and presumptuous.

Their first album, Music from Big Pink (1968) was widely acclaimed. Music from Big Pink is the 1968 debut album by rock band The Band. The album included three songs written or co-written by Dylan ("This Wheel's on Fire," "Tears of Rage," and "I Shall Be Released") as well as "The Weight," the use of which in the film Easy Rider would make it probably their best known song. " This Wheel's on Fire " is a song written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko. Tears of Rage is a song written by Bob Dylan and Richard Manuel of The Band, the former writing the lyrics and the melody being provided " I Shall Be Released " is a 1967 song written by Bob Dylan. Easy Rider, a 1969 American Road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern. While a continuity certainly ran through the music, there were stylistic leanings in a number of directions. Never a specifically "psychedelic" group, the Band's first record did contain at least one song ("Chest Fever") demonstrating some similarities with that genre. Psychedelic rock is a style of Rock music that attempts to replicate the mind-altering experiences of hallucinogenic drugs. In contrast to his guitar playing with Dylan, Robertson opted for a more subdued, riff-oriented approach.

After the success of Big Pink, the band went on tour, including a performance at the Woodstock Festival (which was not included in the famed Woodstock film due to legal complications) and an appearance with Dylan at the UK Isle of Wight Festival (several songs from which were subsequently included on Dylan's Self Portrait album). ---- Woodstock (subtitled "3 Days of Peace & Music" is a 1970 documentary on the Woodstock Festival that took place in August 1969 The 1969 Isle of Wight Festival was held on August 30 - August 31, 1969. Self Portrait is Bob Dylan 's 10th studio album released by Columbia Records in 1970 That same year, they left for Los Angeles to record their follow up, The Band (1969). Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West The Band is the eponymous second album by The Band, released on September 22, 1969 (see 1969 in music) From their deliberately rustic appearance on the cover, to the songs and arrangements within, the album stood in contrast to other popular music of the day. Although it should be noted that, by this point, several acts, notably Dylan - on John Wesley Harding - and The Byrds - with Sweetheart of the Rodeo - had made similar stylistic moves. John Wesley Harding is Bob Dylan 's 8th Studio album, released by Columbia Records in 1967. The Byrds were a popular American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964 Sweetheart of the Rodeo is the sixth Album by American rock band The Byrds, released on July 29 1968 (see The Band featured songs that evoked oldtime rural America, from the civil war ("The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down") to unionization of farm workers ("King Harvest Has Surely Come"). Causes of the war See also Origins of the American Civil War, Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War The coexistence of a slave-owning South " The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down " is a song written by Canadian musician Robbie Robertson, first recorded by The Band in 1969 and A trade union or labour union is an organization of workers who have banded together to achieve common goals in key areas such as wages hours and working conditions forming

These first two records were produced by John Simon, who was practically a group member: He aided in arrangements, and played occasional instruments (piano or tuba). John Simon (born August 11, 1941 in Norwalk Connecticut) is an American Musician, Record producer, and Composer Orchestration is the study or practice of writing Music for Orchestra (or more loosely for any Musical ensemble) or of adapting for orchestra music composed Mediatubaogg -->The tuba is the largest and lowest pitched Brass instrument. Simon reported that he was often asked about the distinctive horn sections featured so effectively on the first two albums; people wanted to know how they had achieved such memorable sounds. In a Symphony orchestra the horn section is the group of musicians who play the horn (sometimes referred to as the French horn a brass instrument descended Simon was slightly embarrassed to admit that, besides Hudson (an accomplished saxophonist), the others had only rudimentary horn skills, and achieved their sound simply by creatively utilizing their limited technique.

Rolling Stone magazine lavished praise on the Band in this era, giving them more attention than perhaps any other group in the magazine's history; Greil Marcus's articles in particular contributed greatly to their mystique. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published The Band also were featured on the cover of Time Magazine for their January 12, 1970 issue. Time (trademarked in capitals as TIME) is a weekly American Newsmagazine, similar to Newsweek and [5]

A critical and commercial triumph, The Band, along with works by The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, established a musical template (sometimes dubbed country rock) that later would be taken to even greater levels of commercial, if not artistic, success by such artists as Eagles. The Byrds were a popular American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964 The Flying Burrito Brothers was an early Country rock band best known for its influential debut album 1969's The Gilded Palace of Sin. For the geological term see Country rock (geology. Country rock is a Musical Genre formed from the fusion of rock Both Big Pink and The Band were also influential on their musical contemporaries, with both Eric Clapton and George Harrison citing the Band as a major influence on their musical direction in the late 1960s and early 70s. Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945 is an English Blues-rock Guitarist, singer Songwriter and Composer George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001 was an English rock Guitarist Singer - Songwriter, Author Indeed, Clapton later revealed that he had aspired to join the group. [6]

Stage Fright, Cahoots and Northern Lights - Southern Cross

Following their second album, the Band embarked on their first tour as a headlining act. The resulting anxiety from fame and its hang-ups was especially evidenced by the group as its songs turned to darker themes of fear and alienation; the influence on their next work, is self-explanatory. Stage Fright (1970), was engineered by musician/engineer/producer Todd Rundgren and recorded on a stage in Woodstock, NY, but the fraying of the group's once fabled unity was beginning to show. Stage Fright is the third album by Canadian - American group The Band. Todd Harry Rundgren (born June 22, 1948 in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, United States) is an American Musician On this album, Robertson takes the majority of songwriting credit, whereas the earlier two albums had more balance in credit. Also, the trademark vocal style of the Band's three lead singers was much less prominent on this work.

After recording Stage Fright, the Band was among the acts participating in the Festival Express, an all-star rock concert tour of Canada by train that also included Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. Festival Express is a 2003 Rockumentary film about the legendary 1970 train tour across Canada taken by some of the world's biggest rock bands including The Janis Lyn Joplin ( January 19, 1943  – October 4, 1970) was an American singer songwriter and music arranger from The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

At about this time, Robertson began exerting greater control over the Band. This has become a point of antipathy, especially between Helm and Robertson. Helm charges Robertson with authoritarianism and greed, while Robertson suggests his increased efforts in guiding the group were due largely to some of the other members being unreliable. In particular, Robertson insists he did his best to coax Manuel into writing or co-writing more songs, only to see Manuel's talents overtaken by addiction.

Despite mounting problems between the musicians, the Band forged ahead with their next album, Cahoots (1971). Cahoots is the fourth LP by Canadian - American rock group The Band, and their last all-original studio album for four years Cahoots included tunes such as Bob Dylan's "When I Paint My Masterpiece," "4% Pantomime" (with Van Morrison), and "Life Is A Carnival," the last featuring a horn arrangement from Allen Toussaint.

One of their most notable later albums is the live recording Rock of Ages (1972), recorded at a 1971/1972 New Year's Eve concert and featuring the line-up, bolstered by the addition of a horn section, in exuberant form. Rock of Ages The Band in Concert is The Band 's fifth album A live disc chronicling their series of shows at New York City 's Academy of New Year's Eve is on December 31, the final day of the Gregorian year and the day before New Year's Day.

In 1973 the Band released Moondog Matinee, an album of cover songs. Moondog Matinee is the sixth long player by Canadian - American rockers The Band. There was no tour in support of the album, which garnered mixed reviews. However they did open for the Grateful Dead for two summer shows at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey.
