Moondog Matinee is the fifth studio album by the Canadian folk and country - rock group The Band. It was released on 15 October 1973 on the label, Capitol Records. Moondog Matinee only contains cover versions of tracks by other artists, mainly of old R & B and blues songs. Originally, it had wanted to take the repertoire for the album that the band had played in their early phase, when she was pulled under the name Levon and the Hawks by the Club of Canada and the United States. In the end, however, was then only a single track from this phase, Share Your Love ( With Me ), actually on the album. The other songs were simply favorite pieces of music.
Moondog Matinee could not repeat the Top Ten success of Rock of Ages. The album peaked in the U.S. Billboard album charts its climax in 28th place The criticism was not convinced of Moondog Matinee, it is universally considered one of the weaker albums of the group.
Capitol coupled two singles from the album, both of which were published with foreign album B- sides. Is not Got No Home was released in November 1973, Get Up Jake as a B- side, a song that was previously only released in a live version of Rock of Ages. Is not No Got home came on the Billboard charts at No. 73 The second single was Third Man Theme, which came in February 1974 on the market and as a B- side The WS Walcott Medicine Show from the album Cahoots contained. The single did not rise in the charts.
