Music Levon Helm wins another Grammy, doing 'great' after medical procedure
Posted by Robert Bell on Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Levon Helm won a Grammy last night — his third in four years — and is now back at home in Woodstock, N.Y. after a successful medical procedure, according to the Times Herald-Record.
This was Helm's third Grammy. The Turkey Scratch native's "Ramble at the Ryman" won for best Americana album. He won that category for 2010's "Electric Dirt" and won for best traditional folk album for 2007's "Dirt Farmer."

Remembering Levon
April 25, 2012On April 19, Phillips County native Levon Helm died after a decade-plus fight with throat cancer. Helm got his start playing rockabilly in the Southern United States and in Canada with Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks. The Hawks went on to back up Bob Dylan as he went electric and eventually became The Band, a group almost singlehandedly created what's now called Americana — a blend of rock, folk, blues, country and gospel. In recent years, he'd hosted Midnight Rambles at his Woodstock, N.Y., home, playing music with family and friends. /more/
