Free Music Notes for Dirt Farmer
Free Music Review: Good music Southeners can be proud of
Hit: 5 Stars
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. Free Music Review: Authentic Roots
Hit: 5 Stars
Levon's first studio release since who knows when is outstanding, but not Band-like. The 2007 Grammy winner for Best Traditional Folk Album this is a really rootsy album with fiddles, mandolins, and acoustic guitar all over it. The songs, whether recent or ancient, sound traditional. Some of these are songs Levon learned on the farm when he was a kid and his parents would sing them. But they all sound real, like he lived them and they're all brought to life by the wonderful production provided by Larry Campbell and Amy Helm.
Very highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Should be Bluegrass
Hit: 3 Stars
I thought I would be listening to some of the smooth old rock from the seventies yet every song that I listened to seemed very Blue Grass. Not that this is bad, I was just not expecting that. If you like that type of music then this is for you.Free Music Review: An American Icon
Hit: 4 Stars
Even after a bout with throat cancer and resultant radiation therapy, Levon Helm's voice rings true with Americana. Not really bluegrass or country or rock, the music recorded here sounds like a track to American life in a time gone by.Free Music Review: C&W in a different way
Hit: 4 Stars
The CD made by Levon Helm, is a great record. He makes C&W in a different and new way.
The songs are great, you wil have a great time listening to this record.
