I read this highly entertaining memoir in November 2017. He was an extraordinary musician and contributor to the culture over the last half century. A songwriter and guitarist with tremendous influence. This was a fascinating memoir of his time with the rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins, with The Band and especially that 1966 tour with Bob Dylan.
However, Robbie Robertson is certainly full of himself and much of this book like many other memoirs is very self serving. That said it is certainly a good story and worth reading even though it is an idealistic autobiography. It was also sad knowing what has happened between the members of The Band over the years.
That all being said... I really enjoyed reading this book.
