Rag Mama Rag

A rollicking, barnburner of a song from The Band.  "Hailstones beatin' on the roof, the bourbon is a hundred proof".  Manuel, Danko and Helm switched instruments, with Richard taking drums (listen to his clever playing behind the lyric "we could be relaxing in my sleeping bag"), Rick on fiddle, and Levon on mandolin.  Listen to Garth's rinky-tink piano interlude starting at 1:45, while producer John Simon contributes the underlying tuba part that holds the whole thing together (now there's a phrase you don't often hear).  Lyrics and music by Robbie.
