Was playing that track, and the album it came off, all the time about thirty five years ago - one of the most atmospheric records I’ve ever heard.Quote:

Loved his work, didn’t really follow him much in recent years though
Sad news.
I love this track Robbie Robertson- He Don't Live Here No More (With Lyrics)

Very Sad, you can't beat this by Robbie with The Band...

That solo album always reminded me of Tom waits
Or maybe Tom waits reminded me of him
During the late 60s when hippy west coast rock was the popular musical form at the time, The Band were moving in a completely different direction. They took their inspiration from American rural traditions and folklore. Robbie Robertson wrote southern-timged country soul songs focusing on people, places and traditions associated with an older version of Americana.
I haven't come across a band with three great singers in it like this one. Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Levon Helm
Fantastic musical genre.Quote:
