Levon Helm with John Donabie

Levon Helm:  Electric Dirt

About a year and a half ago, I interviewed Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer, Levon Helm.  He had just recorded his first album in 25 years, called Dirt Farmer.  A few months after our conversation, he became the only member of the legendary group, “The Band,” to win a Grammy as a solo performer.

This year in 2009, he went back into the studio and recorded his follow up album, Electric Dirt; being released June 30th of this year.  Let’s hope lightning can strike twice.

Here’s our recent conversation about life and the new album.
