''Islands'' is the eighth album by Canadian - American rockers The Band , and the final studio album by the original members. It received mixed reviews, and is generally regarded as one of their weaker releases. Anchored by their 1976 cover of "Georgia on My Mind", recorded to aid Jimmy Carter in his bid for the White House, and surrounded by tracks dating to 1972, it was simply finished to get the group off of Capitol Records , so that the Soundtrack to their film '' The Last Waltz '' could come out on Warner Bros. Records .
