Big Pink is a house in West Saugerties, New York, which was the location where Bob Dylan and The Band recorded The Basement Tapes, and The Band wrote their album Music from Big Pink.

The house

The house is located at 56 Parnassus Lane (formerly 2188 Stoll Road). The house was built by Ottmar Gramms, who bought the land in 1952.

The house was newly built when Rick Danko, then part of Bob Dylan's backing band, found it as a rental in 1967, after the cancellation of Dylan's tour due to his 1966 motorcycle crash. Dylan was living at the time in nearby Woodstock. Danko moved into the house along with bandmates Garth Hudson and Richard Manuel in February 1967. The house became known locally as "Big Pink" for its pink siding.

The Basement Tapes

Bob Dylan and the musicians who would later become The Band recorded a huge number of cover songs and original Dylan material in the basement of the house. In the process, The Band began to develop their distinctive sound for the first time. These sessions with Dylan ended in October 1967, with Levon Helm having rejoined the group by that time.

These recordings were not commercially released at the time, but attracted attention through a demo circulated amongst recording artists by Dylan's publishing company Dwarf Music, and through bootlegs such as Great White Wonder.[1] Several songs from the sessions were taken up by other performers, starting with Peter, Paul and Mary's cover of "Too Much of Nothing" which reached number 35 on the Billboard chart in late 1967.[2]

Some of the basement recordings were eventually officially released in 1975, as The Basement Tapes.

Music from Big Pink

After the conclusion of the sessions with Dylan, The Band began writing their own songs at Big Pink. They still had no official name, and in 1969, Rolling Stone referred to them as "the band from Big Pink."[3]

These songs became their first album, Music from Big Pink (1968). The album included three songs written or co-written by Dylan ("This Wheel's on Fire", "Tears of Rage", and "I Shall Be Released") as well as "The Weight", the use of which in the film Easy Rider would make it probably their best-known song.

The album features a photograph and description of Big Pink on its back cover.

Later legacy

The house was subsequently sold by Gramms in 1977. It was rented to classical music label Parnassus Records, which used it as its headquarters, before becoming a private residence in 1998.[5] As of 2017, the house is used as a vacation rental property, with publicity featuring its role in music history.[4][6]

A painting of Big Pink was used as the cover of The Band's 1993 album Jericho.[7]

In 2014, the full sessions recorded at Big Pink by Bob Dylan and The Band were released as The Basement Tapes Complete.
