Exclusive: Levon Helm Live The Band legend plays ‘Deep Elem Blues’
Two-and-a-half years ago, Levon Helm took his Midnight Ramble to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium to perform music from the Band and his long solo career, as well as traditional covers. The set – which features guest appearances from Sheryl Crow, Billy Bob Thornton, Buddy Miller and John Hiatt – is coming out on DVD on May 17th. Check out an exclusive video of Helm performing the folk classic “Deep Elem Blues” on mandolin with guitarist Larry Campbell, who played in Bob Dylan‘s band in the 1990s and early 2000s. Helm has been playing these amazing sets at his Woodstock, New York home for the past year, but this is the first time he’s released the show on DVD.
