Robbie Robertson is someone who I’ve always been aware of for his work with The Band, but other than watching a video of The Last Waltz film by Martin Scorsese about 20 years ago, my only insight into his life and influences were through the first two Band albums, Music from Big Pink and The Band, plus The Basement Tapes album they did with Dylan.
This documentary is pretty interesting. Looking back at the whole thing with Dylan working with The Band, it’s easy to forget all the controversy involved.
