The 'brown album' of vivid, lived-in songs about an older America, beautifully played. Timeless and warm. Often called their masterpiece. Later output that justifies the journey through the back catalogue.
On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
