Levon Helm

We love Levon's album & caught his March 29th Midnight Ramble w/ Alexis P. Suter of Brooklyn. Amazing experience & we started our Plochmann Lane (road Levon resides & holds his Rambles). Took a number of photos from our trip, etc.

I've been a fan of Levon Helm's for 37 years. The Band is one of my top 5 favorite bands in history. And all the other work Levon did all through the years was absolutely wonderful. When Levon had his bout with cancer, and lost his voice, once he recovered he kept drumming, and kept contributing. He played on many great records. A few Guy Davis records, one or two Louisiana Red records, a phenomenal Ronnie Earl album, titled Ronnie Earl and friends, a Hubert Sumlin album, About Them Shoes, a wonderful Larry Thurston album, titled School For Fools (Gravediggin Man is classic Levon drumming). Levon is a trooper, and a man dedicated to music. The gift he has, he shares with us all.

Now that Levon's back singing, and recording his own projects, is nothing short of miraculous. I've seen a few of his Rambles, and urge that anyone who can find a way to see these great shows, get to as many as possible. Levon is an american treasure.
