The Best of The Band (1976) |
Northern Lights - Southern Cross was the seventh album by Canadian-American rockers The Band, the first album to be recorded at their new California studio, Shangri-La, and the first album of all-new material since 1971's Cahoots. All eight are credited as compositions of guitarist Robbie Robertson.
Northern Lights - Southern Cross was recorded using a 24-track console, allowing Garth Hudson to include multiple layers of keyboards on several tracks.
