  not sure he was with the band when this was recorded, a good track all the same. 

WTF??? 

Enjoyed that trilby. Reminded me of some of the raw music from the 60s/70s.

Saw the thread will check out the links later.
Tied up with the poker. Multi tasking beyond me.

Thank you for the education, GLASGOWCALLING

My favorite song by The Band is Acadian Driftwood

Such emotive lyrics............................

The war was over and the spirit was broken
The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew
We stood on the cliffs
Oh, and watched the ships
Slowly sinking to their rendezvous
They signed a treaty and our homes were taken
Loved ones forsaken
They didn't give a damn
Try'n' to raise a family
End up the enemy
Over what went down on the plains of Abraham

Acadian driftwood
Gypsy tail wind
They call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front movin' in
What a way to ride
Oh, what a way to go

Then some returned to the motherland
The high command had them cast away
And some stayed on to finish what they started
They never parted
They're just built that way
We had kin livin' south of the border
They're a little older and they've been around
They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better
So pull up your stakes, children and come on down

Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat
My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone
Been out ice fishing, too much repetition
Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known
Sailed out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre
Nothin' to declare
All we had was gone
Broke down along the coast
But what hurt the most
When the people there said
"You better keep movin' on"

Everlasting summer filled with ill-content
This government had us walkin' in chains
This isn't my turf
This ain't my season
Can't think of one good reason to remain
We worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans
It was ever green up until the floods
You could call it an omen
Points ya where you're goin'
Set my compass north
I got winter in my blood

Acadian driftwood
Gypsy tail wind
They call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front movin' in
What a way to ride
Ah, what a way to go

Sorry guys they morphed into the Eagles without Dylan and even copied Glen's vocal style and inflections, total Karaoke in the end. HTH THE MUSICALLY iLLITERATE.

Seeing this thread is enough to reason to get The Last Waltz 3cd/dvd box set out .

These deluxe box sets don't come any better ......well not to we see how good the Sgt Pepper 50 year one is shortly.

Hey trilby, good timing, hope you're having as good a day as me I'm just back from a great lunch and off again soon for the evening. I was just trying (very badly ) to create a discussion about this great band, absolutely loved them.

Have a listen to Tanya Tuckers version of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, I think you'll like it, though the backing could have been better.
