Dirt Farmer Wins GRAMMY
2/11/08
Levon Helm's latest album, Dirt Farmer, won a GRAMMY award last night for Best Traditional Folk Album. Helm, The Band's drummer, has performed with music greats such as Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Conway Twitty, Dr. John, Neil Young, Eric Clapton and a long list of others. It's glad to know an authentic southern musician finally earns recognition from peers, critics and various music intelligentsia.
