Description
Assembling in the studio at various points during 1976 through 1977, The Band put together a plan for Islands. It was described later by Robbie as being similar to The Who’s Odds & Sods album. In essence, it was a hodgepodge of older recordings along with some newer cuts to complete their eight album record deal with Capitol.
Regardless of all of the exterior distractions, The Band were still professionals. They were incapable of putting out terrible music and they assembled ten tracks that while uneven still pack a serious punch. And with that, the original incarnation of The Band was done. It wasn’t executed perfectly but nothing ever truly is. As many fans, critics and peers have mentioned, The Band was one of the finest groups of musicians that ever played and while they may have not gone out exactly as planned, their influence was never diminished.
The Band: A History is produced, written and hosted by Tyrell William Lisson with additional research and writing by Alex McGillivray and post-production sound and editing by Michael Koehler.
