“Up On Cripple Creek” #25 1/3/1970

A standard of classic rock radio from the Band. It has an incredibly funky clavinet hooked to a wah-wah pedal. Many songs use that same effect, i.e., Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground,” but this was the first one I can recall. The lyrics are a bit disjointed but so what? The B-side was the original of “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.”
