Robbie Robertson

And then the least commercial Elton John record ever, maybe the only Elton John record for 20 years that didn't have a big pop hit on it, called Tumbleweed Connection.

It was Elton and Bernie Taupin trying to do their version of the band, Robbie Robertson, Levon Hellman, the band.

Oh,

cool.

Daniel Lanois has produced...

U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Robbie Robertson, the Neville Brothers, just to name a few.

He is another artist who still makes time for radio, which I am so grateful for.

The last time I spoke with Daniel Lanois on my show, his manager said, listen, only talk to him about the new album.

Acoustic or electric, didn't matter.

Robbie Robertson was brilliant on the guitar.

We have a bunch of great guitarists themselves.

At the Million Dollar Bash, we're giving away the tickets early for Friday, November the 6th at the Beanfield Theater in Little Burgundy.

This is a salute to the songbooks of both Robbie Robertson and Bob Dylan based on the time they spent together.

the group, and the artist, the poet laureate of rock and roll.

From their first electric tour in 66, right through to the end of it all at the last waltz, 50th anniversary of the last waltz coming up in late November.

I mean, yeah, we got a lot of interest in that band.

We were produced by Robbie Krieger of the Doors, Robbie Robertson of the band.

But we also had all the pitfalls that happen when you're dealing with record industry.

And it's very political and very...

Number three, Jerry.

All right, so I cut this is a it's not really but it's kind of a cheat so I loved the movie Scrooged and One of the songs found on the soundtrack is actually from the 70s, but it was re-recorded for the for this album was Christmas Must Be Tonight by Robbie Robertson originally recorded by the band, but I love this version so much better it's like it it drives there's like a a backbeat rather than just you know the the drum playing on you know one two three you know just on beat three now there's actually a backbeat on two and four and it's just i i don't know i really like this song son of a carpenter you know mary followed the light

now see the the original is one of my favorite songs ever i i love the band they're you know one of my top probably two or three bands of all time.

So yeah, I, I, anything from the band I can listen to just nonstop.

I loved, I loved the, the band's version of that when that came out and I was really surprised when I got the Scrooge soundtrack and saw that was on there because I didn't remember it in the movie.

no i don't in fact i don't even think they actually play it in the movie it's one of those uh you know just throw a bunch of songs on yeah call it a soundtrack and

i i thought they shot a scene where he passes uh robbie robertson and some people playing music on the street but i think it got cut from the from the final version of the movie

could be cuz I know I know there's a miles Davis and Paul Schaefer and you know all those cats yeah but I don't I don't think Robbie Robertson was part of that he could have been I just I don't recall but I wonder if they played it during the credits they might have played it during the credits but anyway I just I remember loving the movie so much I wanted to get the soundtrack and when I did I heard the song and I was like yeah I like this song this is a great yeah Scott, number three.
