Legendary musician and rock icon, Levon Helm returns with his second solo recording entitled, Electric Dirt. Electric Dirt again finds Levon steeped in tradition in his connection to the land and those who live by it, and at the same time goes deeper and fuller in painting a musical canvas by incorporating some gospel, blues and soul with a wide range of original compositions and eclectic cover songs. In 2007, after overcoming insurmountable odds, Levon released Dirt Farmer, his first solo recording in twenty five years, which went on to win a Grammy for “Best Traditional Folk Album.” The San Francisco Chronicle citied, “This album is nothing less than a return to form by one of the most soulful vocalists in rock history.” Rolling Stone went on further to hail Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble’s as 2008’s Best Jam Session and the same year Levon was the recipient of the ‘Artist of the Year’ Award by the Americana Music Association.
