About this album
Anthology is a strong introduction to The Band’s peerless blend of rock, folk and country, drawing together the songs that defined their reputation as one of the most distinctive groups of the late 1960s and 1970s. Formed after backing Bob Dylan, the five-piece developed a sound rooted in communal musicianship, weathered harmonies and vividly American storytelling. This 1978 compilation gathers key recordings from their classic period, including The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and Up On Cripple Creek, songs that helped establish their lasting influence on roots rock and the wider singer-songwriter era.
