If you like Levon Helm


Okay,I know Levon Helm's voice and music is an aquired taste. Myself and a lot of other people happen to like it.I have really been enjoying his two latest releases "Dirt Farmer" a mostly acoustic recording and "Electric Dirt" the follow up and mostly ,as the title hints, electric recording.His voice is really strong,the throat cancer ain't licked him yet.The playing is stellar.The sound quality is great.If you like Levon or roots type music check them out.

Chazro, That's probably because Robbie Robertson always took credit for everything The Band did.The other guys just wanted to make music and did'nt make a big deal about it.I have read and heard interviews with Robertson and he more or less said that "He was The Band".I guess Levon,Rick,Garth and Richard just stood around twiddling their thumbs!!We all know better than that.
Levon's two excellent solo albums have more of the sound and feel of The Band than any other member's solo work. One yearns for Robertson and Hudson to visit his barn.
