Book Reviews of This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band
Book Review: Great book by a great man!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is written by the Levon Helm, who was is the Singer/drummer/mandolin player with The Band, which I'm sure most of you will already know. He gives his account of how he grew up and came to meet and form one of the most important bands in the history of music. What he conveys in this book, is a complete love of music from all different genres and his fellow band-mates. This biography is full of wonderful stories told with personality and humour. Ronnie Hawkins is featured throughout and is incredibly funny! It also gives you an alternative view on how the Last Waltz was put together and the tension that was mounting (understandably) between certain members of the band. Levon is just a really nice guy and gives full credit and respect to all folks deserved of his praise and remains modest and down to earth. I couldn't put the book down, it's so easy to read. A must for all band/music fans! In my opinion he is one of the greatest drummer/singers ever and this is his story.
