“Levon’s solo albums are pure, egalitarian magic and joy.”

In this episode, I'm joined by Michael Koelher,, a dear friend and show editor. Michael's pick is "Twilight," a non-album single from 1975.

Welcome to another installment of Odds & Ends, this time we look at Katie's Been Gone.

Welcome to the premiere of our new series, "A Song With," where I chat with guests about their chosen tracks from The Band and the stories woven within them. There are no constraints; it could be an impassioned case for why a song reigns supreme in The Band's repertoire, a personal narrative or bond, or simply reveling in the joy of listening. In our debut episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Annie Burkhart, a dear friend of the show and the force behind Manuel Mindset on Twitter. Annie's pick is "Jawbone," featured in The Band's eponymous second studio album. We delve into the intricate musical layers and the collaborative songwriting prowess of Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson and even ponder its modest streaming figures.
