Testimony: A Memoir by Robbie Robertson

5.0

A wonderful memoir from Robertson which takes his life up to The Last Waltz and it's immediate aftermath.

It's wonderfully written and hugely involving. It's also a great tribute to his bandmates, not least Levon Helm.

Robertson has been something of a divisive character, not least because of Helm's own autobiography but other books (e.g. Barney Hoskyn's Small Town Talk) help to put his gripes into a more appropriate context.

Everyone in The Band lost something when they ceased working together. Robertson no less than anyone else. The Band - God only made one of those.
