The Band
Active since:
For about six years, from 1968 through 1975, the Band was one of the most popular and influential rock groups in the world, their music embraced by critics (and, to a somewhat lesser degree, the public) as seriously as the music of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

And for a long time, their personalities were as recognizable individually to the casual music public as the members of the Beatles.

by Doug Collette
John Hammond Jr. was perhaps the first white musician to gain some measure of recognition for his devotion to the blues.

Cat Power: Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert
by Doug Collette
There have been some splendid tributes to Bob Dylan and his singular songcraft in recent years, specifically Bettye LaVette's Things Have Changed (Verve, 2018) and Chrissie Hynde's Standing in the Doorway (BMG, 2021).

Christian Parker: Sweethearts: A Tribute To The Byrds 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo'
by Doug Collette
In the half-century plus since it came out, the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo (Columbia Records, 1968) arguably has not received the accolades it deserves for its marriage of country music with rock and roll. But that misperception may be grounded in the reality that the album as it was released is not exactly how it ...
