"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (Robbie Robertson)

This great Band tune was written by Robbie Robertson, and was always at the top of my list. Joan Baez immortalized it with her magical voice. Tuned down a whole step, thanks for listening.

Thanks Rachel; no I don't. I'd like to if I could find the time. You inspire me to write some orginals. I have a custom Martin HD-28 being made. Soon I'll have and and write some songs that ring in my heart. I appreciate your warmth.

Superb! nice heartfelt version. Bit more folksy than the original, am i right? like a small town localised version, sung down in the south in the months and years following the War. Excellent stuff. That song is both timeless and yet resolutely belongs to the Civil War era.

did you sing 'my brother before me' ? I always took it as his older brother 'my brother above me'.

Thanks brother, that's exactly the way I intended it. Thanks for see all that!

wow,what a great classic

I like your cover. But what I really like is that little lead in riff. Any chance you could send me the tabs for that? Just those few notes right before you hit the A minor and start signing. I have been trying to do it watching you, but it does not sound right when I do it. Anyway, good job
