The subject of my painting ‘The Great Divide’ is The Band who produced probably my favourite album of the late 1960s/early 1970s, eponymously entitled ‘The Band’ (aka ‘the Brown Album’ )
This record has all the magic of the ‘old weird America’ (as described in the book ‘Invisible Republic’ by Greil Marcus ) seamlessly incorporated into 12 original songs that sound like they were written a century earlier.
I never tire of listening to it.
