Um, Richard Manuel is the credited composer of the original. Would not call this a "Bob Dylan song."

This is the best song ever recorded. The version: the voice, the instrumentals, the intro... everything sounds so perfect to me and succeeds at hitting all the soft spots, every single time.

The only introduction one would need to hear "roots rock and roll" can be heard on this compilation from The Band. Their albums, the first 3 in particular, are classics and for good reason.

Agree with Distron: Richard Manuel's plaintive vocal on this track could make a cold hearted a**hole get emotional. The Band...what can one say about such a great and talented group of musicians?

I absolutely love the Band but always find this an unappealing, painful, boring track - sorry !! Awful in the extreme !!

Not many groups could boast a track of this quality as the opening number on their debut album! [2] RIP Levon.

I will always regret not having gotten into this band before Levon's passing. RIP

Well, this is from their debut "Music From Big Pink", and that's the album to start with.

This is awesome. Why don't I listen to these guys more often? Any suggestions of albums to start with would be very welcome (I don't do Greatest Hits).

play on, play on, men. It's almost hard to believe how good this band was. All of them. ultimately tastey. playing and singing and writing. what a cosmic treat for us all, that so many good 'uns got together in the 60's and 70's---and in some cases beyond.

Rick Danko did not sing lead on this song... that wonderful voice you're hearing is Richard Manuel. The Last Waltz didn't do this great man justice... it was as if he wasn't in The Band. Shame, because he was the best singer in the group--and this song is proof of that.

Eric Clapton said once something to the effect that amongst his greatest professional regrets was that he didn't get to join the Band. This song makes me believe it, though they, and he, did all right separately! This tune is a bit wrenching to listen to, it's so heavy with raw emotion.
