First they back up Ronnie Hawkins during several hell raising, booze swilling, groupie banging, rocking and rolling years. Then they work with Bob Dylan during the first Awesome Bob Dylan Era (there's been at least five such eras) in the mid 60's. Then they release the best debut album of all time (Music From Big Pink) in 1968.
Three simple little career steps that had already put them in the rock & roll hall of fame for the rest of eternity. Where do you go from there? What would your next move be? What could you possibly muster that would compare to any one of those three endeavours, let alone all three?
You just go into a studio and record the single greatest album ever recorded by anyone in the history of music. A monolith of a record that musicians worldwide have been failing to recreate for four decades.
That's what you do.
