I'm a much bigger fan of Levon Helms than of the Band. Understandably, most of the reactions I've read here and elsewhere reference his work with the Band. I've said it before, and I'll say it again (sadly, I'm realizing it's the last time I'll do so), anyone that's a fan of the Band that HASN'T heard LV's solo output (Dirt Farmer, Electric Dirt, & Ramble At The Ryman) should run, not walk, to get these great records!!
