Book Reviews of This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band
Book Review: A well told tale
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must read not only for fans of The Band but for all music lovers and musicians. Levon paints a gripping story of life on the road and being part of a very special moment in time. For musicians, some valuable insight into figuring out how music should be played.Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
Very well written. Not like the usual rock auto-bio where numerous events are just listed. Very insightful and full on fascinating stories and info. It's unfortunate that hard feelings persist with Levon because he has accomplished so much good. Despite his ill will towards the Last Waltz, now in Bluray, it allows a whole new generation to appreciate his true greatness and contribution to musical history.Book Review: Everything I wanted to know...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent source for those wanting to know about The Band. It's always better to have a first hand description of events. There was so much I didn't know or understand about The Band, and to get the information directly from Levon was unbeatable. Very entertaining, easy to read, hard to put down. Excellent portrait of the '50's - '60's Toronto club scene of which very little seem to be known, but was very relevant as a lot of important figures came from it. It'll make you want to listen to the albums again, but much more closely. You really want to get a real taste of what it was like to be around these great musicians and men.Book Review: This Wheel's on Fire

Summary: 5 Stars
Levon with Richard and Rick and Garth tell it like it was in a "down home" way. I found it a fascinating read that made a lot of their songs take on a whole new meaning for me. After reading it I had to pull out all the old Band LP's and was delighted to hear them again with a new perspective. If you liked The Band... BUY THE BOOK !!
