The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down by The Band
It's a sad song, or at least it feels sad, almost like a soul song or something Billie Holiday would sing. Of course, it's also a rock/folk song, but it's one of the more bittersweet rock songs out there. My memories of this song aren't all too interesting... I guess a random night in high school here or there, driving to the North Side for some party that wasn't all too interesting or maybe listening to this instead of doing my homework. I can't get over how bittersweet this song sounds.
Listen:
This is a great song. Great band. Excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteSigh. The Band.
ReplyDeleteLike mm said. Like indigo said.
ReplyDeleteAnd like Deloney said.
ReplyDeleteSo did you take this out of the Bobfather's collection or what?
ReplyDeleteNo, he only has this on vinal, and seeing that the record player broke in 1989... it still isn't fixed.
ReplyDeleteAs Kay would say...Typical, typical typical.
