"He sang the anthems of a generation: 'The Weight,' 'Up on Cripple Creek,' and 'Life Is a Carnival.' Levon Helm's story--told here through sweeping research and interviews with close friends and fellow musicians--is the rollicking story of American popular music itself. In the Arkansas Delta, a young Levon witnessed 'blues, country, and gospel hit in a head-on collision,' as he put it. The result was rock 'n' roll. As a teenager, he joined the raucous Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks, then helped merge a hard-driving electric sound with Bob Dylan's folk roots, and revolutionized American rock with the Band. Helm not only provided perfect 'in the pocket' rhythm and unforgettable vocals, he was the Band's soul. LEVON traces a rebellious life on the road, from being booed with Bob Dylan to the creative cauldron of Big Pink, the Woodstock Festival, world tours, The Last Waltz and beyond with the man Dylan called 'one of the last true great spirits of my or any other generation.' Author Sandra B. Tooze digs deep into what Helm saw as a devastating betrayal by his closest friend, Band guitarist Robbie Robertson--and Levon's career collapse, his near bankruptcy, and the loss of his voice due to throat cancer in 1997. Yet Helm found success in an acting career that included roles in Coal Miner's Daughter and The Right Stuff. Regaining his singing voice, he made his last decade a triumph, opening his barn to the Midnight Rambles and earning three Grammys. Cancer finally claimed his life in 2012. LEVON is a penetrating, skillfully told tale of a music legend from Southern cotton fields to global limelight." [jacket copy] "The Band's drummer Levon Helm always insisted he had 'the best seat in the house' and his views from that perch are recounted here. Tooze is a no-frills scribe--she's done her homework and she straightforwardly tells Helm's story. Kicking off with a vivid description of his youth, she reminds us that he came from the South that he brought to life in song."--MOJO. "Tooze successfully captures Helm's spirit, his relentless creativity, and his enduring love of playing and singing music. Drawing on interviews with Helm's daughter, Amy Helm, close friends, and his music director, Larry Campbell, among many others, Tooze traces Helm's life from his Arkansas childhood, where he grew up listening to soul, country, blues, and gospel on the radio. LEVON gives us a chance to revisit Helm's music and to recall his deep contributions to roots music. Most of all, it captures Helm's personality."--No Depression. "I thought I knew a lot about my old friend Levon Helm, but Sandra Tooze has captured all the nitty-gritty details of the life and times of the man who was, arguably, the most soulful and beloved drummer/singer in the history of rock 'n' roll. From Turkey Scratch, Arkansas, to Woodstock, New York, this rollicking, raunchy, riveting account of Levon's life and times takes us on a wild journey that is exhilarating and heartbreaking in equal measure."--Happy Traum. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a handsome, intact jacket. Quite presentable.…
