Why this album mattered
The Band, also known as The Brown Album, is the second studio album by the Canadian-American rock band the Band, released on September 22, 1969, by Capitol Records. According to Rob Bowman's liner notes for the 2000 reissue, The Band has been viewed as a concept album, with the songs focusing on people, places and traditions associated with a traditional view of Americana. Recording After unsuccessfully attempting sessions at a studio in New York the Band set up shop in the pool house of a home rented by the group in the Hollywood Hills located at 8850 Evanview Drive in Los Angeles, California. It reached #9 and charted for 49 weeks. Major singles from the album include "Up On Cripple Creek".
