Last week saw the death of Levon Helm, one time drummer and singer with The Band, who were much more than Bob Dylan’s one-time backing band.
I’ve already posted the Band’s version of The Weight, their second biggest UK hit. Their biggest, curiously, was Rag Mama Rag.
Levon took lead vocal on this one, though.
The Band: Up on Cripple Creek
Levon Helm: 26/5/1940-19/4/2012. So it goes.
