Levon still has it.

With "Dirt Farmer" Levon Helm shows he still has it. I listen to a lot of music every year and Dirt Farmer is one of the best of 2007. At times while I was listening to this cd I could swear I heard The band. With Levon Helm has been through it very good to see he put out a great album.

The sweat, blood and dirt of America - put to music.

Simply put, the best CD I have purchased in the past 3 years. The Buddhists say to transcend suffering. However, like Cormac McCarthy, Levon Helm celebrates the blood, sweat, suffering, pain, and dirt of rural America in music. The musicianship and production is perfectly raw and honest to the material. Levon's voice is filled with aged wisdom and back in full-force. But more than anything, Levon has captured a feeling or a pulse or an essence that's linked to the core of America like the dirt our homes are built upon and done it in a way that is, for lack of a better word, amazing.

Down to Earth music at its best

I like the music of The Band and there is some of that in there, but also much more, classic and traditional, while at home in the present.

Dirt Farmer

Gritty and raw. This album is a treasure that isn't too often found in newly released music. The emotion he puts into the music and the fact that his daughter wanted him to record this before he couldn't anymore shines through. It's like you're being granted an opportunity to acquire one of their family heirlooms without being part of the family.

Levon kickin' it old school!

I grew up in Appalachia. I knew what bluegrass music was before I knew the name for it. Levon Helm NAILS it on this album, including the twangy, old geezer voice that lends itself to this kind of music. The guitar intro on track one alone is worth the purchase of this record....utterly sublime.
