Product Description
Description
Dirt Farmer is Levon Helm's first solo album in 25 years. Helm was a founder member of The Hawks, later to become legends as The Band, both for backing Bob Dylan on tour, and also for their own landmark studio albums. He has been described by Rolling Stone as "an inexhaustable, irreplaceable fountain of American music."
Growing up on a cotton farm in the Arkansas Delta, Levon Helm's Dirt Farmer album goes right back to his family roots. This is an all-acoustic offering from one of the great weather-beaten voices in rock history. The album was recorded at Levon's Woodstock, NY studio with Levon's daughter Amy Helm and famed multi-instrumentalist and producer Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Rosanne Cash). The album has been nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award in the Best Traditional Folk Album category.
"Closer to the heart of the Band than anything since The Last Waltz" - CBS News Sunday Morning
"Dirt Farmer is an iconic album, this year's Time Out of Mind or Freedom. Just give him a Grammy." - New York Magazine
"One of the most profoundly moving recordings of his career." - Relix magazine
Listed as Number 5 - "The 20 Best Americana Albums of 2007" - Uncut Magazine
