Mystical Robbie Robertson Was A Presence That Could Not Die

 

Robbie Robertson's significant contribution to music included far more than his powerful presence as leader of The Band. He radiated his First Nation mysticism. "Right from the start Robbie Robertson knew he wanted to be a storyteller. Spending his childhood summers at the Six Nations of the Grand River, a reserve in Ontario, Canada, Robertson grew to love music and art and hearing some of the mystical stories by elders." L.A. Times writes "He was on the verge of his greatest success" with his most recent Scorsese film score. To me he seemed a presence that could not die.
