Short intro

Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good. Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest, But they should never have taken the very best. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, when all the bells were ringing, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is a song written by Robbie Robertson and originally recorded by the Canadian-American roots rock group The Band in 1969 and released on their eponymous second album. Levon Helm provided the lead vocals. The song is a first-person narrative relating the economic and social distress experienced by the protagonist, a poor white Southerner, during the last year of the American Civil War, when George Stoneman was raiding southwest Virginia. The song appeared at number. CEMA Special Markets' The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is a skimpy budget-line collection that may contain eight of the Band's greatest songs - This Wheel's on Fire, The Weight, Rag, Mama, Rag, The Shape I'm In, Don't Do It, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Across the Great Divide, and Life Is a Carnival. but it contains only eight songs, which is unacceptable even for a budget-line compilation.

The Night They Drove Old Dixie - The Doobie Brothers, The Band. The Band rented it and converted a poolhouse into a studio to record their second album. Joan Baez covered this in 1971. It was her biggest hit, reaching US 3 and UK 6. Her version was recorded at Quad Studios in Nashville with producer Norman Putnam, who gathered about 20 people from around the studio to sing on the chorus. One of those voices belongs to Jimmy Buffett, who Putnam would later work with on his album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes. Asked about the Baez version of this song, Robbie Robertson said it was a little happy-go-lucky for me, but he was thankful.

For the audience the event was not just a live concert, it started as a full Thanksgiving dinner for thousands of people. The concert was made into one of the best movie concert documentaries ever produced. The version here shows how emotional the concert was for the band, as demonstrated by Robertsons facial expressions and Levon Helms singing. Recommended reading.

In the post-Civil War South, Virgil Cane recalls Union soldiers destroying the railroad on which he served, the April 1865 fall of the Confederacy capital of Richmond, Virginia, and the fate of his 18-year-old brother - 'proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave'. Not only had the war brought about more than 620,000 deaths, but, as Cane observes, it destroyed an entire way of life - 'Y
