Testimony: A Memoir by Robbie Robertson
5.0
Growing up, The Band played around the house quite a bit, as background noise that I appreciated but didn't investigate any more than a kid might ask about the origins of the livingroom rug. I found Robbie Robertson on my own later, with his self-titled album and "Somewhere Down the Crazy River."
It was enough to follow him across years, through the Red Road Ensemble and his trip-hop adventures. He's just as much a sucker for narrative as I am, and it shines in his lyrics.
It took years before I asked about his backstory, which is incredible. To be able to sit down with several hundred pages of story (history, his story), is such a treat, and ultimately, a spectacular love letter to his brothers in arms.
