Good music Southeners can be proud of

I spent the first 21 years of my life in Hot Springs, AR and eventhough most would probably consider me of "city folk" origin, I grew up workin my mom and dad's massive garden and listenin to The Band and other musicians with deep southern roots. This album Dirt Farmer rings true to my heart. Mainly due to the fact that I am in Grad School and am far away from anything fimilar. When I get to missin all the things about home i listen to this album and it instantly transports me back home. I just want to say thank you Mr. Helm for returnin to your roots. And I also would suggest that if you like the southern folk to pick up this album and give it a listen.

Wonderful CD from a Real Class Act

Levon Helm has survived throat cancer and has come back to create what in my view is the best cd by a solo member of The Band ever.
This sounds like a cross between the best of The Band and the best of the 'O' Brother, Where Art Thou' soundtrack.
Beautiful traditional songs soulfully sung by Levon with harmonies by his daughter Amy. Great songs such as Steve Earl's 'The Mountain' and Buddy and Julie Miller's classic-sounding 'Wide River to Cross'.
Just terrific.

As Country as it gets.....

I purchased this cd for my Dad--knew he would like it.What surprised me was just how much I ended up liking it too.This is real country music--very traditional--which means that most fans of "Nashville country" wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.Many good songs on here, my personal favorite here is the cover of Steve Earle's "The Mountain". Levon's voice has changed ( who's wouldn't after what he went through) but it still sounds good, if not quite as strong as it used to be. Anyway, I'd recommend this disc to any serious lover of country.

TOTAL MASTERPIECE

This is a very,very good record.
One of the best of the century so far.
A must for fans of folk country and "THE BAND"
LEVON HELM will never top "JERICO" ...THE BANDS best work in 1993.
Why is "Jerico" not on AMAZON for sale?It was one of the top 5 records of the previous century.Somebody ought to re-release it.

dirt is goodIf you consider

If you consider "old-timey" a word, and appealing another, then you have the gist of "Dirt Farmer" in (almost) a word.
