Electric Dirt
Levon Helm
Description
[Machine Translation] This is the second solo album by Levon Helm, best known as a member of The Band, and like his previous album, Dirt Farmer, it was produced by multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell. Tennessee Jed" and "Golden Bird," both with beautifully simple arrangements, are covers of songs by the Grateful Dead and Happy Traum, respectively. Growing Trade," co-written by Levon and Larry Campbell, depicts a farmer's struggle to make ends meet. King Fish," with a horn arrangement by Alan Toussaint, was written by Randy Newman and is filled with a cheerful atmosphere reminiscent of New Orleans. The album was recorded at Levon Helm Studios, also known as "The Barn," and like the previous album, the concept of the album is full of empathy for the earth and its inhabitants, but this time the mix of originals and covers adds elements of gospel, blues, and soul, giving the album even more breadth and depth. The simple, unpretentious style is what makes this album so special. The simple, unpretentious style of this album is unique to Levon, and it is one that will touch your heart and soul. Includes commentary, lyrics, and bilingual translation.
