Not every bit of Ramble at the Ryman is noteworthy … But the highlights are essential testaments to Helm’s gravelly tenderness as a vocalist, whether on his natural, narrative delivery of “A Train Robbery” or his mix of mourning and hope on this spare, show-stopping version of “Anna Lee.”
Grayson, thank you. If I’ve never swooned before, I am right now. Meantime, I hope you all celebrate Levon’s birthday and buy this recording. He is one of those rare musicians who inspires everyone to be more authentic — as a person and a musician. He just gets better with time. Happy Birthday Levon.
Meantime, I need to stop swooning and pick up this guitar and get back to writing. Does anyone know where I left my feet on the ground?
“Sun’s a-gonna shine in my back door someday, March winds gonna blow my blues all away….”
Early signs of spring … music and rain boots. Grab your umbrella for Tuesday evenings at Lucky 32 in Greensboro. And I’ll have guest appearances with Red June,Don Williams, and Garrison Keillor this month as well:

Singer and songwriter Laurelyn Dossett was born in Birmingham, Alabama and raised in a hymn-singing family. A short time after her 3 young daughters were too big to bounce on her hip, Dossett picked up the guitar and founded the band Polecat Creek with singing partner Kari Sickenberger. Since then, Dossett has made her mark penning tunes like a lyrical historian, writing and performing music in a traditional style for today's innovative musicians, storytellers, and playwrights.
