Album Review

“Music From Big Pink” starts off with a sad sounding first song, and never really lets up. Every song has a slow, saddened, bluesy, southern feel to it. The music is very good for what it is, but there is very little “rock” here. “The Weight” is an excellent song, one which I highly recommend to all; this was the song which made me listen to the entire album in the first place. “Lonesome Suzie” is not bad listen either. Overall, the songs are very emotional and mellow, perfect for laid back background music that doesn’t require much mental work.
