In one 94,000 word book you can now read EXACTLY what Bob and The Band were up to at Big Pink as well as where, why and how they made this timeless music. Featuring interviews with Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Roger McGuinn, Joe Boyd, Manfred Mann, Band producer John Simon, Ronnie Hawkins and many more.
