Bands who'se names describe thier sound.

bdp24,
There was a tremendous amount of talent in THE Band. I also like their musical style. They were the entire package.  

Amen. Not only three lead singers and three songwriters, but drummer Levon Helm also played harmonica, guitar, and mandolin, pianist Richard Manuel played drums (very musically and interestingly), bassist Rick Danko played tuba, and organist Garth Hudson played (plays) piano, clavinet, and sax. But more importantly, they all (including guitarist Robbie Robertson) played for the song first.

I am about half way through Robbie Robertson's new autobiography,"Testimony". Highly recommended!
Now, back to the lists.

There are also quite a few videos on You Tube of Robbie talking about The Hawks/Band. Fascinating.
