What a long strange trip it's been...
RIP to a hero. I just spent about fifteen minutes crying. We'll be missing you, Bobby. So glad that I got to see you and Phil on stage years ago. And you, earlier in the day, playing with Levon Helm of all things as well. 💔

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is a song written by #RobbieRobertson. It was originally recorded by his Canadian-American #rootsRock group #theBand and released on their eponymous second album in 1969. #LevonHelm provided the lead vocals. The song is a first-person narrative relating the economic and social distress experienced by the protagonist, a poor white Southerner, during the last year of the #AmericanCivilWar.

October 1, 1965
Orpheus plays Carnegie Hall in New York City. He played a solo set and then introduced his new backup band – Rick Danko on bass; Robbie Robertson on guitar; Garth Hudson on the organ; Richard Manuel on piano and Levon Helm on drums. From then they would be known simply as – The Band.

13 years ago today Levon Helm left us for the Celestial Midnight Ramble. A giant in American music. An influential voice on the soundtrack of my youth. I'm confident he's sitting behind a kit somewhere. Jude Autry carries his name.

@sj5 @Kosch Interesting perspective & comments. Yeah, #Robertson's legacy is complex. I agree, there need be no favorites & #LevonHelm was a force of nature.
