Though a Canadian, Robertson focused on a series of American archetypes from the union worker in 'King Harvest (Has Surely Come)' and the retired sailor in 'Rockin' Chair' to, most famously, the Confederate Civil War observer Virgil Cane in 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.' The album effectively mixed the kind of mournful songs that had dominated Music from Big Pink, here including 'Whispering Pines' and 'When You Awake' (both co-written by Richard Manuel), with rollicking uptempo numbers like 'Rag Mama Rag' and 'Up on Cripple Creek' (both sung by Levon Helm and released as singles, with 'Up on Cripple Creek' making the Top 40). The Band, the group's second album, was a more deliberate and even more accomplished effort, partially because the players had become a more cohesive unit, and partially because guitarist Robbie Robertson had taken over the songwriting, writing or co-writing all 12 songs. The Band's first album, Music from Big Pink, seemed to come out of nowhere, with its ramshackle musical blend and songs of rural tragedy.
