The Band: Atlantic City

[Cover] [Back Cover] [Inner Cover] [CD]

Rare US promo CD (w/picture sleeve) for Jericho, with both the album version and an edited version of The Band's brilliant cover version of Springsteen's "Atlantic City."

Here's the write-up on the inside of the cover:

The Band - Jericho

Their music broke through the chaos of psychedelia to influence enormously - if not reroute - the entire direction of rock music. Now, twenty-five years after the release of their debut album Music From Big Pink (1968) and nearly fifteen years since their last recording The Last Waltz, The Band will deliver a stellar new album Jericho on October 19th, 1993.

Original members Levon Helm, Rick Danko, and Garth Hudson have been joined by guitarist Jim Weider, keyboardist Richard Bell, and percussionist Randy Ciarlante in a musical effort that , according to some, sounds like it was taken from the vault.

"Atlantic City" is the first track to be released from the album which embodies superb new Band originals in addition to Bob Dylan's "Blind Willie McTell". Also, included on the album is "Country Boy", a labor of love featuring a soulful and haunting Richard Manuel in his last studio performance recorded in 1985.
