The Band -- "Across the Great Divide"
When I think of American bands, The Band is the first one to come to mind -- even though most of the band's members hailed from Canada. No matter. They understood America, the part of America that matters. The sound on this track, as on many others from their eponymous second album, is an amalgam of everything you can find in American music, in all of its genres, and yet it never sounds generic. There's a certain kind of talent that goes into pulling that off.
