Levon Helm - Wide River to Cross (Dirt Farmer) One of my favourite songs ever. Lyrics there's a sorrow in the wind blowing' down the road i've been i can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun but i can not look back now i've come to far to turn around and there's still a race ahead that i must run i'm only halfway home i gotta journey on to where i'll find the things that i have lost i've come a long long road still i've got miles to go i've got a wide wide river to cross i have stumbled i have strayed you can trace the tracks i made all across the memories my heart recalls but i'm just a refugee won't you say a prayer for me cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls. + Informações

I rise today to recognize the life and achievements of my friend Levon Helm who passed away last week surrounded by close friends and family members. Levon will be remembered by many as the acclaimed vocalist and drummer for the Levon Helm Sextet, which then became Levon and the Hawks and later what we all now know simply as The Band, which gained international critical acclaim. The Band was given its name by Bob Dylan in 1967 while he lived with the band members in a house known as "Big Pink" near where I grew up in West Saugerties. That's where the famed Basement Tapes, which featured Dylan, were recorded. When the album was later released in 1975, it rose to be number 7 on the Billboard 200 list. We all remember Levon's unique drumming style and soulful country voice from songs like "The Weight," and "Up on Cripple Creek." These songs and others have stood the test of time and will be remembered for how they helped shape a generation of rock music and everything that came thereafter. Without a doubt, Levon's contributions to American music cannot be overstated. But beyond the music, we cannot forget Levon the man. I knew him well. He was a beacon of our Hudson Valley community. He was always willing to open his doors to help raise money for important local causes. He was a tremendous supporter of local agriculture. He worked to bring music into our schools and communities. He was a great person, and a great friend. After the release of his Dirt Farmer album, Levon put .... + Informações

This song is from the Levon Helm Band show at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor on March 19th, 2012. The band closed the show with "The Weight", but Levon Helm, Amy Helm, Teresa Williams, and Larry Campbell returned to the stage to perform this song. I recorded the song that night on my phone and wanted to post it for other fans in tribute to this amazing man. He certainly touched our life as he did many other fans. I was hit very hard with the news today. I post this song with love from Drew, Jill, and Marie. Gloryland: If you have friends in Gloryland, Who left because of pain Thank God up there, they'll die no more They'll suffer not again. So weep not friends, I'm goin' home Up there we'll die no more No coffins will be made up there No graves on that bright shore The doctor will not have to call The undertaker, no There'll be no pain up there to bear Just walk the streets of gold So weep not friends, I'm goin' home Up there we'll die no more No coffins will be made up there No graves on that bright shore *The photo is not from the Michigan Theatre show.
