- "Look Out Cleveland" (The Band) Something of an outlier among The Band’s predominantly rootsy first two albums, “Look Out Cleveland” is a rollicking blast of bar-band blues, where the group’s history backing Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan is evident in structure and sterling execution.
- "Chest Fever" (Music From Big Pink) With evocative, elliptical lines like “She’s been down in the dunes/ And she’s dealt with goons,” “Chest Fever” is a perfect slice of The Band’s rustic psychedelia — and, fittingly, in 1969, the group opened their Woodstock set with the Music From Big Pink track.
- "Broken Arrow" (Robbie Robertson) One of Robertson’s most romantic songs, “Broken Arrow” is from his 1987 self-titled solo album. Atmospheric and dreamy, Robertson sings of a partner who turns his “whole world around.”
- "To Kingdom Come" (Music From Big Pink) Like most of the songs on Music From Big Pink, “To Kingdom Come” is a team effort; it’s tough to imagine its effervescent groove without any of The Band’s members.
