Description
After performing with Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks (1957-1964), The Band (Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm) eventually rose to fame in the sixties as backing musicians for Bob Dylan. This collaboration with Dylan presented the group with a chance to expand musically and strike out on their own. The Band's fusion of rock, country, soul, and blues music-all tinged with a southern flavor and musical adventurousness—created a unique soundscape. The combined use of multiple instruments, complex song structures, and poetic lyrics required attentive listening and a sophisticated interpretive framework. It is no surprise, then, that they soon grew to be one of the biggest bands of their era.
In Rags and Bones: An Exploration of The Band, scholars and musicians take a broad, multidisciplinary approach to The Band and their music, allowing for examination through sociological, historical, political, religious, technological, cultural, and philosophical means. Each contributor approaches The Band from their field of interest, offering a wide range of investigations into The Band's music and influence.
Commercially successful and critically lauded, The Band created a paradoxically mythic and hauntingly realistic lyrical landscape for their songs—and their musicianship enlarged this detailed landscape.

Disappointing listen
I don’t write negative reviews. In all honestly this is my first.
In a nutshell you could watch The Last Waltz and scroll through The Bands wiki page and leave with more or less the same info. Lots of filler. Tangents that have nothing to do with the band itself and more to do with adding a few pages/paragraphs/chapters. Many points are told 4-5 times…almost verbatim. I get it. Chester was a real guy from Levon’s home town… repeating that 4 times with the same bio/background description of Chester is beyond overkill… also “Pulled into Nazareth”… same anecdotal background/story at least 4 times on that lyric…(spoiler… its not the Nazareth from the Bible but rather the town where Martin guitars are made). Half a chapter on what movies or TV shows The Weight appeared on and the explaining the movies or shows… filler.
This is more an ode to The Weight and then Cripple Creek and Dixie Down. Too much mansplaining on all of them without anything new. Way too much time talking about the same things. Not enough (or any, really) grit. No more than a few paragraphs on why The Band broke up, and even there.. nothing insightful. No mention of Danko passing and Helms is an afterthought in the last minutes of the book. Hate to say it but this was not a good listen.
