Record of the week: Out of the Blue

This week on Record of the Week, we dig into one of the most overlooked and mysterious songs connected to The Band: “Out of This World,” tucked away on The Last Waltz Suite. Robbie Robertson’s lead vocal, the unusual arrangement, and the lack of clear information about who actually played on the track all make this song a real puzzle. We talk about why it feels so different from the rest of The Band’s catalog, what it might reveal about the group’s dynamic at the end, and why such a beautiful song has stayed so under the radar for so long.
