...punching out notes and laying out funky phrases like "the mathematical guitar genius" Bob Dylan used to say he was. Levon Helm approaches his drums with what is, in rock music, unparalleled subtlety and restraint. On bass, Rick Danko occasionally puffs his cheeks as if he were playing a horn.

Sales almost trebled in the 1940s and doubled in the 1950s, but in the decade now ending, they have climbed only about 60%.
