Ebook About A dazzling, epic biography of Levon Helm––the beloved, legendary drummer and singer of the Band. 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.Book Levon: From Down in the Delta to the Birth of The Band and Beyond Review :
Sandra Tooze has captured the unique character and genius of Levon Helm, an American original who lived, dreamed and made music like nobody else. It was, literally, in his body – and his approach to drumming and singing remade contemporary rock music, as drummer after drummer from Jim Keltner to Steve Jordan to Ringo explains. Tooze’s new interview work with many of the principals, and attention to musical detail is nothing short of superb. She picks up the nuances and history of Levon’s music, his southern roots, and his long, difficult journey through relationships, success, fame, illness, revival and survival. Particularly appreciated the background on Libby Titus (who wrote ‘love has no pride’) and her and Levon’s children and families. Tooze must be a drummer, because her explanations of tempo changes, drum kit set ups and gear, shuffles and 16th notes actually made me go back and relisten to classics like King Harvest or the more recent Dirt Farmer sessions with fresh ears. Her breakdowns of Levon’s work on Moondog Matinee also took me back to the covers with renewed interest. The backstory, readers will know by now, is about Helm’s well-documented dispute with Robbie Robertson over the royalties and publishing rights for what Helm viewed as the collaborative efforts of the Band on the first two key albums of music: now acknowledged classics in American rock and folk music. What Tooze adds to the story is interviews of others who were around Woodstock at the time. There isn’t a clear consensus and it raises the perennial question about what the overlapping roles of ‘songwriter’, lyricist, arranger, player and producer, something also taken up in John Simon’s recent memoir (he might have had some claims as well). Danko, Manual and Hudson also felt aggrieved over Robertson’s running of the business, his writers’ credit, his declaration of the end of the Band, and his refusal to step up when the others were in financial and health difficulty. What comes through both Tooze’s book and Robertson’s autobiography is that Robertson was always deliberately crafting his image and career, with a sharp business eye, while the others made music, spent money, crashed cars and partied with abandon (Hudson excluded). Comparing the original collaborative from the Basement Tapes on to the later albums, Tooze explains that the other guys gave up after the second album and were performing Robertson’s tunes with perfunctory, mixed results. Some of the old magic is there on Stage Fright and Northern Lights – but something is missing: the quirkiness, playfulness and eccentricity of some of the Helm/Danko/Manual work on the early albums. Hudson played on through the chaos, with novelty and virtuosity. Danko’s solo work holds up well and Robertson’s solo work struggled the recapture the magic, then headed in another Indigenous direction. Helm’s later collaborative work was rich and wonderous, and Tooze does it real justice here. While it didn’t establish his credentials as a songwriter, there was no Band without Levon. His voice, drums, mandolin and occasional guitar were the beating heart of the classic work. Well researched, well-written account of the rise, fall, and ultimate resurrection of the career of the late, great Levon Helm. Of the books I've read that zero in on the history of The Band (Barney Hoskyns' Across The Great Divide, Levon's This Wheel's On Fire, Robbie's Testimony), this one outclasses them all. Even-handed, with no axes to grind, Sandra B. Tooze sets about setting the record straight and does just about the best job of it that I can imagine being done (with 3/5ths of the Band being gone). The one thing missing is a thorough discography, although Ms. Tooze does indeed offer commentary on each major release throughout the body of the book. Still, a stand alone, easily accessible discography would've been a welcome addition. Highly recommended.
