In class we listened to The Band's album, Big Pink which its story behind its development and naming are interesting enough without even getting to how some of the songs were written.  The album itself was named after the house where a considerable amount of songs were written and recorded, the house was literally big and pink. I was amazed when I found out that some of the songs' lyrics were written by different people as a way to get into the house and how well they came together which without knowing you'd think it was one person that had written them. Each song sounded alike in some ways but also had its own distinct and unique sound such as "The Weight" which is a slower song yet the constant kick of the drums help maintain a steady rhythm and split vocals around the chorus gives it a good hook. Overall I enjoyed the album which was kept interesting by various changes to each song.
