"The Stones I Throw (Will Free All Men)" is a single by Levon and the Hawks, released in 1965 on Atco Records.
Seemingly a comment by Robbie Robertson in favor of the Civil Rights Movement, the song is carried by Garth Hudson's organ, and is far less rooted in the heavy R&B stylings of the group's other three single sides.
It is the link between their days with Ronnie Hawkins and the group's breakout 1968 LP, Music from Big Pink.
[1] The song was covered by J.J. Jackson and included on his debut album released in 1967, and by the group Ocean, who included it on their 1970 debut album, Put Your Hand in the Hand.
