| | ABC News: Robertson charts the Band's musical journey (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The new collection starts with a 1963 recording of "Who Do You Love" by Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks (the Band's earliest incarnation) and ends, as it must, with tracks from "The Last Waltz," the Band's star-studded farewell performance, captured on film by Martin Scorsese. |
 | | For Robertson, who had not listened to much of this material in years, if ever, one of the most pleasant surprises was "the musicality of the journey." But, as he stresses, he and his Band mates were hardly a "group who got guitars for Christmas and decided we wanted to get a record deal." |
 | | Indeed, by the time "Music From Big Pink," the Band's legendary 1968 album came out, the group had been together for years and had absorbed musical influences from across America's vast landscape. |
