Free Music Notes for Dirt Farmer
Free Music Review: bad dirt
Hit: 1 Stars
I'm a big fan of the Band and Levon Helm. However, just like Mohamad Ali and Larry Holmes, Levon didn't know when to put down the gloves. This is a pathetic attempt to go commercial when he should have been content with the memories he already made. This is bad music, bad, bad, bad! How can these people put up such glowing reviews and sleep at night. Makes me lose total faith in the integrity of the review system.

Free Music Review: porch singing music from the ozarks
Hit: 5 Stars
how levon marries hillbilly fiddle, elizabethian ballads and the delta blues is quite amazing. i was raised on the arkansas-missouri line and this albumn contains music dear to my heart. the whole albumn flows....from the ralph stanley, free will baptists harmonies that the ladies layer on a song to the ballads my people brought with them to arkansas in 1840. there are songs of jesse james, false lovers and single girls. but the icing on the cake is how levon infuses some songs with the beat and groove of the delta. may this summer find me on a porch on a hot summer night playing my hammer dulcimer and singing these songs with friends.

Free Music Review: Pretty Solid
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is not a gem or anything, but it is a collection of solid music which proves that Levon is still a viable musician after some 40 years. The best tracks, in my opinion are 'Got Me A Woman' and 'Feelin Good'. At certain points, Levon's voice seems sort of weak, but there are female backup singers who usually do a pretty good job of providing vocal depth. Levon had a courageous battle with throat cancer, and it's quite impressive that he could pull this off!Free Music Review: The Sum is Greater than the Parts
Hit: 4 Stars
This cd, taken as a whole, is one of the best that I have ever listened to. At first I was taken aback by Levon's raspy voice, but by the end of the cd that didn't matter to me at all. This cd takes you on a journey. It is a travel to other times and places in Levon's youth in Arkansas. I can't think of when a cd has so transported me away from the daily grind. If you were to take each song as a single it would not be as meaningful, but all together it is magical. Great instrumentals and backup harmony. This just works. Why not a five star rating? Only because reviewers dole them out too often. Thanks Levon for returning to your roots. Free Music Review: This CD is amazing! It also led us to Ollabelle. We love it
Hit: 5 Stars
We had the good fortune to meet Levon Helm at Slim's in San Francisco in 1990. We had just seen the Doll Maker with him & Jane Fonda. He was such a gentleman. We of course are also big fans of the Band.
This cd is raw,real,& pure emotion!!!!! Six stars, instead of five.
His daughter, Amy,is wonderful too & I highly recommend Ollabelle.
