RIP. I am sad.

"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!" -
You don't have to love Dylan, and The Band.

One of the most genuine and truly influential musicians of our time. He learned his skills in the melting post of musical styles that was Eastern Arkansas in the 1940s and 1950s.
Not bad for a guy who grew up in Turkey Scratch.
His last albums were outstanding. Dirt Farmer is must listening for anyone wanting to explore real roots music.

This is hitting me much harder than I thought it would. The Band's music pulls at your soul the way few others' do, and Levon's drumming and singing were a big part of that.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

The Band has a tremendous catalog - invest some time and listenComment

Between Tuesday (when his family announced he was about to pass on) and yesterday, the Levon-related content on my Facebook feed was between 50 and 75%. Almost every Band song he sang lead on was posted. As well as some that he didn't.
I know a lot of musicians and music geeks.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

The Band was a good name for a band.Comment

The NY Times obit:
As a writer, I always was drawn to lyrics more than the musical accompaniment.
But The Band took you somewhere else entirely.
Or if not somewhere else, then somewhere deeper.
"The Night They Drive Old Dixie Down" works lyrically as a lament to the old South.
But The Band - and Helm - made it primal.
The "Bootleg" stuff with Dylan was as raw as music should be.
I can't really explain it - and for once (lol), I won't even try.
But I always liked it and I still need it, now and then.
The mysterious - and eternal - Dylan somehow found kindred spirits in a bunch of Canadians and a guy from Arkansas....finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
