I know this is not a popular opinion, but A Change Is Gonna Come, written by Sam Cooke, is my favorite track on The Band's album Moondog Matinee, released on October 15, 1973. One of my favorite Rick's vocal performances. Soulful.

The Band's self-titled album is associated with autumn, especially its last song. King Harvest (Has Surely Come) showcases so perfectly the talent of Richard, Robbie, Levon, Garth, and of course, of Rick, who plays here one of his most popular bass lines.
