The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Description

This colorful portrait of Levon Helm is a perfect example of his role in ‘the Band’. There is a lot going on yet he kept it all together and in time. He was the Drummer and sang lead on many of their most popular tunes. The music of the band was the ultimate example of the melting pot of American Music. The broad range of styles they played, the lead musicians they backed, and the hits they wrote on their own cement the Band and Levon Helm’s music as one of the greatest in American History. “I don’t mind chopping wood, and I don’t care if the money’s no good, you take what you need and leave the rest. but they should never have taken the very best…The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”

The Original is 8×10″ on Canson mixed media paper, created with watercolors, acrylic paint, and ink. Fits great in any Rock and Roll Art Collection!
