Up on Cripple Creek by The Band

This song came up on Outlaw Country today and as per usual my day became a better one. I have heard these songs by The Band for years and years, decades even, still the fact is they are some of the few songs that I do not tire of hearing.

Great song. Great sing along song. God rest you Levon Helm. You had the music of a special angel long before you went to heaven.

Ophelia by The Band ( Missing Levon Helm)

Driving early this morning listening to Outlaw Country on the satalite radio and on comes Ophelia by The Band. I think that it might be physically impossible not to tap your foot and sing along to this song.

The physical love of life, of the joy of singing Helm presents in this song might be the purest demonstration of his talent that exists in the overabundant catalog of great music he left us.

Feeling down. Feeling blue. Visit the memory of Levon Helm and Ophelia. It will get better.
