Levon Helm was the soulful voice and drummer of The Band, born in Arkansas and steeped in Southern rhythm. His gritty vocals powered classics like The Weight and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. After The Band’s farewell in The Last Waltz, he went solo, acted in films, and later hosted his legendary Midnight Rambles in Woodstock. Even after battling throat cancer, he came back strong with Grammy-winning albums and remained a cornerstone of American roots music. #americana | Truck Stop Chic
