The Band - Rock of Ages

Release Date:07/31/2015;Notes:Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing of this classic album from the influential band who single-handidly pioneered Americana, roots rock, country rock and heartland rock. The double-album Rock of Ages occupies a curious yet important place in Band history. Recorded at a spectacular New Years Eve 1971 gig, the show and album were intended to be a farewell of sorts before The Band took an extended break in 1972, but it turned out to be a last hurrah in many different ways, closing the chapter on the first stage of their career, when they were among the biggest and most important rock ‘n’ roll bands. The last four tracks feature Bob Dylan.;Track List:1. Don't Do It Written-By - Holland-Dozier-Holland 4:20;2. King Harvest (Has Surely Come) 3:38;3. Caledonia Mission 3:11;4. Get Up Jake 3:08;5. W.S.
