Capsule review: Band - Islands (1976)


After all this time surely we can agree the Band were best when they had no ambition. The ones to come back to aren't pink and brown, but Northern Lights, Southern Cross, Stage Fright and this one. An unassuming bag of covers, instrumentals, a Christmas song and some Robertson originals with no ambition but plenty of feel. 'Right as rain', 'Georgia on my mind', 'Livin' in a dream' and, wonderful, 'Christmas must be tonight'. They can drive down old Dixie forever. Give me the throwaway gold dust.
