Recorded in 1967 but unreleased until 1975, The Basement Tapes is a raw, rootsy collection that shaped the future of Americana and influenced countless artists through both covers and bootlegs. Captured in The Band’s Big Pink hideout, these intimate, off-the-cuff sessions blend folk, blues, and early rock with timeless, lo-fi authenticity—standing as a visionary counterpoint to the era’s flashier sounds.
