The Band - Cahoots (50th Anniversary Edition)

Eleven songs were recorded and produced by The Band, which at the time consisted of Rick Danko (bass guitar, vocals), Levon Helm (drums, mandolin, guitar, vocals), Garth Hudson (organ, accordion, saxophone), Richard Manuel (piano, drums, vocals) and Robbie Robertson (guitars, vocals), at Bearsville Sound Studio in Bearsville, New York. The song "Life Is A Carnival" was released as a single. With "When I Paint My Masterpiece" a Bob Dylan cover made it onto the record. In addition, Van Morrison can be heard as a guest singer in the song "4% Pantomime". Helm's then partner Libby Titus contributed backing vocals to "The River Hymn" - the first time a woman was heard on a The Band album.
