I saw a TV report on him a couple of years ago, and he didn't look too well. Perhaps the healing power of music! </p>autodidactFri, 03 Jul 2009 17:59:20 -0000http://popdose.com/cd-review-levon-helm-electric-dirt/#comment-12069330<p>I think I've said it before here, but I truly believe a Ramble is something that anyone who loves music should experience at least once - watching from 5 feet away as Levon drums and sings for over two hours really is something else. Also, has anyone ever made such a drastic recovery from throat cancer? Not only does his voice sounds like it's back to 100% - when I saw him last year, he sounded better than he did on anything he's recorded since The Last Waltz!</p>ThierryFri, 03 Jul 2009 09:20:37 -0000http://popdose.com/cd-review-levon-helm-electric-dirt/#comment-12057358<p>Being a major Randy Newman fan, I was eager to hear Kingfish... and wow! This version kicks like a mule. Excellent.</p>Joel JambonThu, 02 Jul 2009 22:34:07 -0000
