This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band Book

A tell-all from the singer and drummer of the group the Band, this work details the history of the group that is now regarded as one of the most influential of the 1960s due to their deep catalog of beautifully crafted, image-rich songs. While their music evoked a Southern mythology, only their Arkansan drummer, Levon Helm, was the genuine article, and this updated edition is expanded to include a new epilogue that covers the last dozen years of his life. From the cotton fields to Woodstock and seeing Sonny Boy Williamson and Elvis Presley to playing for President Clinton, This Wheel's on Fire replays the tumultuous 1960s in Levon's own unforgettable folksy drawl.

In 1968 the album "Music from Big Pink" was a defining moment for an entire generation. As the band's drummer and lead singer, Levon Helm emerged as a folk hero to millions. For the first time, here is The Band's story related by Levon Helm. 32 pages of photos.
