R.I.P. Levon Helm


He helped make some great music.

Somewhere I hope Levon is singing with Rick and Richard. What great music those guys made together. Last night I listened to some music by The Band. Bittersweet in many ways.
.....all of the above. The Band was truly in a class of their own - and nobody has ever really come along that has even resembled them musically. They were really good. I did read that Robbie Robertson was there at the end for levon. Hopefully to say ; '' I'm sorry '' or possibly out of guilt......
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!!
I thought his older solo stuff was really great too. there's a two cd set of his first two solo albums.
