Ain’t In It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm : Canadian Premiere Tonight, NYC in April

Ain’t In It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm explores the creation of Helm’s 2010 album Electric Dirt. Director Jacob Hatley spent time with Helm over two years at his Woodstock, NY home to collect footage for the documentary. Electric Dirt, which won the first ever Best Americana Album Grammy, was the follow-up to Helm’s comeback record Dirt Farmer, which received the Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album. This evening the film will have its Canadian premiere in Toronto as part of the Canadian Music Week Film Fest. Next month, Ain’t In It for My Health will screen in Manhattan, at Cinema Village from April 19-25.

blech. Don’t want to see anything about this deranged man. Great singer. Great drummer. Not a great truth teller and delusional.

is this another outlet for levon to piss and moan and gossip about the other band members? sell out.

Sad, you know. Yeah, there were differences between some of The Band members. Toward the end of his life, it seemed Levon was prepared to let go of any acrimony. Some of us really loved Levon Helm from afar. Whatever kind of man he was, whatever his faults may have been, his art, the way he played, sang or acted, was nothing if it was not the truth. A truer American spirit would be hard to come by. Sometimes the internet makes me so sad.
