Levon Helm dies at 71
|
I was just looking for a thread on him. Such a sad day. The best damn singing drummer I've ever seen. And another piece to the legendary band is gone.
|
Very sad news. Such a great drummer, one of the best ever, and the "carnal" voice of the band. I loved how he used an old kit with wooden rims on The Band (their second album), which can be seen in this video.
"Corn in the fields, / Listen to the rice when the wind blows ‘cross the water." Love those lines. |
King harvest. Such a great band, one of the greatest, that doesn't get enough attention on this forum. Levon was such a great talent. Great drummer, amazing vocalist, mandolin players and guitar player.

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead. I just need some place where I can lay my head. "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"

Its a small regret that I never drove out to see a Midnight Ramble. His last two CD's were great.
|
As has been said; he is one of, if not the best, singing drummer from the 60's and 70's. The heart and soul of one of Canada's best groups, created 2 amazing albums and inspiring my favorite Elton John song...
Take a load off, Levon. |
What song was that?
