ROCK OF AGES WAS ONE OF THE BAND'S LIVE ALBUMS. RECORDED AT THE TAIL END OF THE GROUPS CAHOOTS TOUR AND OVER THE COURSE OF FOUR NIGHTS AT NEW YORK'S ACADEMY OF MUSIC AT THE END OF DECEMBER 1971. RATHER THAN FOLLOW THE LEAD OF MOST OTHER LIVE RECORDS MADE AT THE TIME (AND MANY SINCE,) THE BAND RESISTS ANY TEMPTATION TO IMPROVISE OR EXTEND ITS MATERIAL. INSTEAD, THE GROUP PLAYS WITH AN INTENSITY, CHEMISTRY, AND SPIRIT THAT'S NEARLY UNRIVALED BY ANY OTHER LIVE ALBUM. THE QUINTET ALSO DRAWS ON A SECRET WEAPON: ONE ALLEN TOUSSAINT, WHO TAILORS EXPERT HORN ARRANGEMENTS FOR MULTIPLE SONGS, A MOVE THAT SPICES RENDITIONS OF CLASSICS SUCH AS "DON'T DO IT" AND "CHEST FEVER". TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THE HORN CHARTS ARE PERFORMED BY THE ROCK OF AGES HORN SECTION, A FIVE-PIECE ENSEMBLE THAT INCLUDES LEGENDARY TRUMPETER SNOOKY YOUNG AND SAXOPHONIST JOE FARRELL, MOREOVER, IT WAS THE BAND'S SOUND THAT STOOD OUT THE MOST, FROM HELM'S PROPULSIVE DRUMMING TO ROBETSON'S DISTINCTIVE GUITAR FILLS AND THE ENDLESSLY INVENTIVE KEYBOARD TEXTURES OF GARTH HUDSON, ALL TOPPED BY THE ROUGH, EXPRESSIVE SINGING OF MANUEL, HELM, AND RICK DANKO THAT MIXED LEADS WITH HARMONIES. THE ARRANGEMENTS WERE SIMULTANEOUSLY LOOSE AND ASSURED, GIVING THE SONGS A TIMELESS APPEAL, WHILE THE LYRICS CONTINUED TO PAINT PORTRAITS OF SOUTHERN LIFE. THIS VINYL PRESSING CONTAINS THE REMASTER OF THE ALBUM, MAKING IS SOUND MORE VIBRANT AND ELECTRIFYING THAN EVER BEFORE. IT ALSO COMES HOUSED IN REPLICATED ARTWORK.
