Title: Bright Lights
Product review: After spending most of 1973 and 1974 recording and touring with Bob Dylan, The Band headed back into the studio for their follow-up to Moondog Matinee and their first album of original material since 1971's Cahoots. The resulting album, Northern Lights - Southern Cross is a solid, workman like effort that has some great songs. "Ophelia" is an excellent song as the stirring "Forbidden Fruit". "Arcadian Driftwood" and "Hobo Jungle" are good as well, but the standout track is the gorgeous "It Makes No Difference". Rick Danko provides the best vocals of his career on the track and it is a gem. Robbie Robertson is back on his writing game after some down time and Garth Hudson adds a Moog synthesizer to his repertoire and it adds an airy sound to the album.
