CayceG Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I will be spinning my The Band albums in commemoration. I've really started gaining a huge appreciation for them. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is a song that to me, a Tennessean, is reprehensible in what it lauds. But the way Levon sang it and the music just make it so so good. I wish it didn't mean what it did, but dammit if I don't sing it at the top of my lungs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be my most played song of 2023 if current habits hold… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
