Levon Helm: Rock, Roll, & Ramble

SKU FDR99965
Raised in poverty in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas, the late Levon Helm clawed his way to fame and fortune in the music industry, lost it all and got it back. When he died in April 2012, the legacy he left revolved largely around a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career that had brought him to the stages of Madison Square Garden in New York City and Wembley Stadium in London. He had played a pivotal role in launching the modern-day genre of Americana music, which continues to showcase the success of contemporary bands like the Lumineers, Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons. All of this was an outgrowth of Levon's role as drummer, mandolin player and vocalist for The Band. But even more important than the global success of The Band was that which unfolded during the last years of Levon’s life, over the course of his final act as an artist and musician. Levon's last-ditch scramble for survival, as he recovered from cancer and bankruptcy, was not only successful, it shifted the music industry paradigm. 318 Pages.
