## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible
*by J***N on May 21, 2025*

A biography of a band (The Band), an era and culture , and a memoir of a man. Fantastic, authentic narrative voice of an interesting, imperfect man. I loved this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful
*by J***R on July 24, 2025*

As a lifelong drummer, I admired Levon very much, but in reading this book, I was very entertained by his life, especially with the Hawk. A wonderful read, by a wonderful drummer and man. RIP Levon

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest Sounding, In-depth Autobiography
*by B***D on July 16, 2013*

This biography of Levon Helm seems to be exceptionally forthright, and comprehensive in that it spans the furthest reaches of his life. It tends to be remarkably informative, and does address band issues which I would assume would be the primary reason most folks would read this book.I am not really a fan of this band, mainly because I just never got around to listening to their work. I did marvel at the Aretha Franklin version of "The Weight" with Duane Allman playing lead when I first heard it on the first Allman Anthology released back in the early seventies. It is a great song. Additionally, I heard the Joan Baez version of "The Night They Drove old Dixie Down" hundreds of times on the AM radio back in the seventies, along with versions of "Cripple Creek" by country bands for years. Those songs are standards in country rock. "I Shall Be Released" is one of the best songs ever written, in my opinion, but I always heard it sung by others, particularly Dylan in the past. I recently saw a video with Grace Potter singing it, and that was great! But, I ain't never heard it sung by Richard Manuel.I recently ordered the "Greatest Hits" of the band, but it has not arrived yet. I expect it to be good. I did rent the "Last Waltz", and during that film I heard/saw the song "Makes No Difference", and really like it.But having said this, I cannot claim to be a fan of the band, at least, not yet.The book though, reads well, and is well written. It is a good book that will describe the actual story of where they came from, and how the history of the group played out. I actually had moments when I thought that Helm went a little too deep in some of the descriptions of his early life, how cotton was grown in the Delta of his homeland, and some of the years prior to the "Big Pink" era. But, it is better to give too much detail, rather than too little in most instances of a biography.If a reader is a fan of this group, or a musician, or particularly of Helm, (Or you want to know exactly how to raise a crop of cotton as it was done just after World War II); read this book!One last comment; this book has some sad notes that may disillusion some fans as to the idyllic image of the group, their perceived Arthurian "All for One" approach to creating music that seemed to be the group's perspective during the time frame of the first couple of albums produced. Helm looks back unfavorably upon Robertson's involvement in the groups' "politics." But such things do happen in many bands, or even in real life scenarios of any bunch of people often, ...particularly when big money is involved.
