"The album was intricately produced by John Simon, and meticulously arranged with three singers/players - Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel - sharing the spotlight (Robbie Robertson also took a rare lead vocal). Subtleties like oblique background horn charts, keyboard whiz Garth Hudson's inspired and playful sounds (particularly on "This Wheels On Fire") and Helm's unique drum patterns are given a fresh glow, making this enduring classic even more enticing.".

"This beautifully packaged 50th-anniversary box set offers a brighter, sharper mix than past reissues, so you can really hear the lust in "Chest Fever," the sorrow in "Long Black Veil" and the half-past-dead blues in "The Weight." There's also an insightful essay by Rolling Stone`s David Fricke, and a new a cappella edit of "I Shall Be Released" that shines a lovely spotlight on Richard Manuel's falling-angel falsetto. If you love the Band, it's mostly nothing you haven't heard a couple thousand times before, but little else is needed. A half-century later, the brotherhood of Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Manuel and Garth Hudson still makes you want to join the party".
