	Featured Selection (view all) Music from Big Pink I first heard the Band sometime before I could legally drive. I picked up one of their less significant albums at the Wayne County Public Library in Ohio. I thought the music the strangest thing I had ever heard: old style country music mingled with R&B and rockabilly, heavily produced to sound like America yet, compared with other well produced music I’d heard, seemingly unaffected, of a time but as close to timeless as pop art gets. I discovered Music from Big Pink sometime later, after having shed the first effects the Band had had on me. The album, their first, remains my link to my original initiation into their songs. It is an album full of Saroyan and Sun Records, hatchets and underwater sounds, Curtis Mayfield chasing the Big Bear of Arkansas through alleys in Toronto with Snopeses and ancient modern signs.
