The Band - Cahoots

Historically overlooked, Cahoots stands as one of The Band's finest efforts and includes contributions from iconic pianist/arranger Allen Toussaint and Irish bard Van Morrison, whose feverish duet with Band vocalist Richard Helm on "4% Pantomime" is the equivalent of two poker players trying to outsmart one another. A similar carnivalesque spirit infuses the entire set. If you're missing this album or simply never heard it, you're in for a treat. And there's never been a better opportunity to experience Cahoots. Remastered from the original master tapes by Mobile Fidelity's expert engineers, the record sounds more open, detailed, warm and revealing than ever before.
