SOD: Levon Helm "Ophelia"

The Ramble at the Ryman won the 2012 Grammy for Best Americana Album. That's after his album Electric Dirt won the inaugural 2010 Grammy for the category. And that was after his 2007 comeback album Dirt Farmer won the Best Traditional Folk Album Grammy. 

The Last Waltz version of this classic is one of my favorites. Maybe I like the way it's filmed too. The later look at Levon is really pertinent. I thought he still had that long in the tooth kind of youth paradox, and most certainly his chops. The American did us proud.
