In a band full of uncommonly good singers and players, Levon Helm might have been the most soulful cat of all. This epic biography takes us from Levon’s youth in Arkansas and his immersion in blues, country and gospel to his rockin’, rollin’ days with Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks before arriving at the doorstep of greatness: the Band. The Band wouldn’t have been the Band without his deep-in-the-pocket drumming and his stunning vocals; you’ll follow Levon from Dylan’s stage to the Big Pink to Woodstock to the Last Waltz to his storied Midnight Rambles at the barn. An illustrated, beautifully told tale of the favorite musician of many a great musician. (Written by Sandra B. Tooze.) Hardcover. 400 pages. Diversion.
