Stylistically, The Band is Country and Western rock, with mandolin, jew's harp, and some very funky ragtime piano to hint at the down home atmosphere, while drums, organ, and electric guitar give the music a drive which CandW does not possess. The album is technically sound and it is the kind of music you can hum in your mind when you're falling asleep in lecture. Each cut is very professionally arranged and performed to project the atmosphere which the Lyrics describe. As a unit then, the Band works. But judged according to standards set by people like Cream...
Unlike Wilson, a clever, sharp-tongued and very partisan politician, Heath usually arouses little more than yawns. The conservative squirearchy, which still dominates much of Tory politics, is not particularly delighted that their leader is a Kentish carpenter's son who got through Balliol College on an organ scholarship. Nor does Heath's modest background win him friends in working-class districts-not when the single, silver-haired politician is known to be devoted to music and a 34-ft. sloop he races with public-school friends...
...years worth of space and sports, of fads and fashions, of transportation and transplantation, of involvement and integration, of race and riot, and of politics, pot, poverty, pollution and the Pill.

For a presumed organ of the Establishment, NBC came out surprisingly and strongly pro-pot and antiwar, while parenthetically acknowledging that the new generation might teach old politicians a thing...
...eyes of a bloodhound, the jowls of a St. Bernard and a baldachin of white hair like that of an extraordinarily unkempt poodle. His face, reporters joked, looked as if it had been slept in. When he spoke, there issued forth a sesquipedalian vocabulary, diapasonal sounds like a Hammond organ in dense fog. His performances had a consciously archaic quality about them. He satirized fustian while indulging in it. His senatorial solemnity was a species of burlesque. He belonged in a Chautauqua rather than a McLuhan age, although he became a master of television performing. His manner, leavened...
...Winesburg, Ohio. Rather it is soap opera, a sort of superserial in which the lovable characters are sometimes handled with such consummate affection by the author, with such descriptive refinement of feeling that it approaches art. Of course, there are those organ-tone poems about the seasons. Characters inexplicably appear and just as inexplicably disappear. Chapter after chapter goes absolutely nowhere. But the reader gets hooked nevertheless...
