I had some lunkhead guitar player wannabee from a shit covers band who had just slaughtered The Weight bag this out when I played it in the break.....can you believe that?
This album (Dirt Farmer) is what it sounds like when someone is making exactly the kind of music that they are supposed to be making. There isn't a weak cut in it and songs like False Hearted Lover Blues, The Mountain, Calvary and Wide River to Cross are timeless.
I've been listening to Levon's music for over 40 years and these tracks stand up next to anything else he has done.
False Hearted Lover? Poor Old Dirt Farmer? The Mountain? Calvary? Wide River TO Cross? Seriously. Are you kidding me? This is a tremendous album that deserves far more attention than it has gotten. I've been a fan of Levon Helm for over 40 years and he just keeps gettin' gooder and gooder.
If you can't appreciate Levon or " The Band" then pull out your Micheal Jackson shit and MOON WALK the fuck out of here!!!
