RIP ROBBIE ROBERTSON. WE REMEMBER ROBBIE WITH OUR 2011 INTERVIEW

RIP ROBBIE ROBERTSON. WE REMEMBER ROBBIE WITH OUR 2011 INTERVIEW 0

Robbie Robertson was there at the beginning of a revolution in music. He was there as part of Bob Dylan’s backing band when the folk singer went electric and polarised fans in the sixties. It was at that moment that rock n’ roll was longer just an excuse to dance. With Dylan going electric, now rock n’ roll had a voice and something to say. Robertson and the band went on to become The Band, one of the most influential rock bands in contemporary music history. Albums such as Music From Big Pink, The Band and Stage Fright are considered landmark records in the annals of rock. It all culminated in ‘The Last Waltz’ their final set of gigs, which was captured by filmmaker Martin Scorcese in a highly acclaimed movie. Main songwriter Robertson continued to gather accolades as a solo artist and for his involvement in the music for other Scorcese films. In 2011, AM editor Greg Phillips spoke to Robbie about the release of his album How To Be Clairvoyant, a collaboration with Eric Clapton. READ INTERVIEW HERE
