The one hundred fifty-sixth album: #156 The Band - The Band
So I guess we're in the era of self titled bands now, and especially those who draw from blues or, in this case, country to define their sound. They're some pretty relaxed songs, straightforward without tricks. The lyrics are well written - set in its own western world, but it works well as some relatively simple sounds.It's a good sounding album, present without being in your face and it feels it delivers all the way through. If anything, it's music you don't have to think about - leaving you more of a chance to think about the lyrics where you want to - and that's something that's been suiting my mood lately.
