	The Band - Music From Big Pink - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
		It was through the urging of Albert Grossman, Dylan’s legendary manager, that four of the group decided to make their own music (Helm, having left that Dylan tour in disgust over the rudeness of its attendees would soon rejoin the fold).
		Having gone through the names Levon and the Hawks and one that was given to them against their wishes (The Canadian Squires - from a record label they cut a single with), the members went with the tag bestowed upon them by Woodstock locals and those involved in the Dylan tour: The Band.
		America was knee deep in Vietnam, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley had ordered the crackdown on so-called “radicals” at the Democratic Convention and the music of the time was of a raucous, psychedelic vibe-aimed to be as abrasive to parents as possible.

		When Music From Big Pink was unleashed in the psychedelic, troubled summer of 1968, it was a near-complete anomaly.
		It was so unlike any music of the time that many people simply did not get it--they had no reference point.
		While many critics feel Big Pink is The Band's ultimate statement, there is simply too much Bob Dylan involvement to call it their zenith.

		Three decades later, the original tunes on Music from Big Pink ("The Weight," "This Wheel's on Fire," "Tears of Rage," as well as the first recorded appearance of Dylan's "I Shall Be Released") still retain the sound of classic Americana.
		At first blush, the group seemed to affect the sound of a loose jam session, the arrangements giving alternating emphases to different instruments, while the lead and harmony vocals passed back and forth as if the singers were making up their blend on the spot.
		Big Pink ('68) and The Band ('69) are two of the best albums in rock history.

	John Niven, Music From Big Pink: a novella
		I have to admit that, to me, all the guys in the band appeared to be a little bit crazy, and definitely larger than life.
		In fact, if it sounded like anything, it was the kind of folk music your old weird uncle played on his guitar when he'd had a few too many Black Labels.
		The music that became Big Pink is described in development, as Keltner delivers some weed or uppers, he hears snippets from the basement of the big pink house, or tapes which are passed around like gold from friend to friend.

		Music from Big Pink stands as one of those rare albums that turned the rock world on its axis.
		YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC, rather than dance to it or put it on for a party (and in that case, it is not destined to be certain folks' road music).
		It is music not from "big pink" but from who knows where, and the band members freely trade the lead singer role back and forth as a song progresses, which only deepens both the wonder and the mystery, as if each of them is tossing on a piece of the whole story only they know.

	Beatrice.com: John Niven on Music from Big Pink
		Through working in the music industry for ten years—my entire twenties—I'd come to realise how very short the window of real happiness is in the life of a rock band.
		The Band's Music from Big Pink (1968) was completely out of step with the acid-freak outs of the time and anticipated country rock, which would define the coming years and reach its commercial apogee in the mid-seventies with The Eagles.
		We both knew it was a gamble, combining fact and fiction around one of the most revered bands in American music history, especially written by a Scotsman who was in the womb when the songs on the album were still being written.

		At first blush, the group seemed to affect the sound of a loose jam session, the arrangements giving alternating emphases to different instruments, while the lead and harmony vocals passed back and forth as if the singers were making up their blend on the spot.
		The result was an album that reflected the cultural and political turmoil of the late '60s in a way that emphasized the tragedy inherent in the conflicts.
		Nevertheless, "Music From Big Pink" came off as a shockingly divergent musical statement only a year after "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", when rock had moved toward ornate productions.

	Various Artists - The Band's Music from Big Pink - Review - Stylus Magazine
		The Big Pink version of the song is a playful piece of timeless mountain-bred, mythical rock, but the isolated six-string points closer to portentously sprite gospel blues.
		The Staple Singers, often cited by The Band’s members as a prime influence on Music From Big Pink, are without a doubt the greatest gospel ensemble of all-time, and their cover of “The Weight” is as good of evidence of that than anything.
		Many point to this song as Music From Big Pink’s unequivocal lowlight, and, as good as it is, they’re certainly right.

	Rolling Stone : 34) Music From Big Pink
		"Big Pink" was a garishly pink house in Woodstock, New York, where the Band -- Dylan's '65-66 backup band on tour -- moved to be near Dylan after his motorcycle accident.
		Dylan contributed "I Shall Be Released" and co-wrote two other tunes.
		But it was the rustic beauty of the Band's music and the incisive drama of its own reflections on family and obligations, such as "The Weight," that made Big Pink an instant homespun classic.

		Their songwriting had a deceptive simplicity and formidable substance at a time when the musical epoch of the 1960s was beginning to collapse into mere playacting.
		The result compares to the completeness of Rhino’s Monkees reissue campaign or the Demon series of Elvis Costello remasters, although one innovation developed for the latter would have greatly improved each album’s sense of continuity: the insertion of a brief pause between the end of the original LP and its bonus selections.
		The effect of the climax of Music From Big Pink, “I Shall Be Released,” is diminished by the lack of space between it and the disc’s first bonus track.
