This thick tome (495 pages) is a testament to Robertson's recall of the many parts of his life, while covering only the first 33 years of his life. From childhood to learning guitar, to hearing the various styles of music that would influence him, to his early days backing Ronnie Hawkins in his backing band the Hawks playing the rough roadhouses and joints, to his crossing paths and playing with Dylan (and not wanting to leave his fellow band members in the Hawks), and then to his time in The Band, to the drugs and money that helped tear the band apart, and finally winding up his story at the legendary Last Waltz concert in '76, Robertson's sharp memory brings to light his life, the people, and the music he helped make. There's two sections of photos in both color and b&w. There's no Forward or Index.Of most importance to many people who will read this book is Robertson's time with Dylan--both on and off stage. His penchant for details paints a fairly vivid picture of the people and those times when so much was happening all around him. Robertson's writing style is straightforward but captivating as he describes the events and people from his viewpoint. He writes about his time with his band mates--both good and bad--and his time with Dylan and others (like the doomed Edie Sedgwick who introduced Robertson to using "special" shots, or the "almost" bank robbery), along with others from that era.Robertson also writes about his long time feud with fellow band member Levon Helm over songwriting credits/royalties, but for whatever reason never fully delves into the matter. This bitter feud lasted up through Helm's death (read "The Last Waltz" for another look at the feud), but since this is Robertson's story he chose not to go to deeply into their disagreements. But his feelings for Helm and his fellow band members apparently still runs deep.No matter your feelings on the feud this book is well worth your time reading from Robertson's viewpoint. For just about anyone interested in late '60s/'70s rock music or (especially) if you're a fan of The Band and Dylan and their slog around the world playing Dylan's "new" game-changing music, this book is worth your time. Robertson's way with words and phrases really brings out the flavor of both Robertson himself and that whole era. A good addition to most anyone's music shelf of good books.And for those who may wonder how I can review a book that's just been released, I'm lucky to have access to books before the sale date.
Robbie is a great songwriter, no doubt about that, and I love his music with a passion. But he is not telling us everything in this Bio. With claims that he is such a great storyteller, a lot in this book was a bit boring and non-specific. I just couldn't help feeling while reading that we were not getting the whole story and I was continually yearning for more detail. I am not in that camp that feels that Robbie ripped off his fellow band members. Because I do believe he was the primary songwriter in the group. But I do feel Robbie embellishes much of his story and recalls things a bit differently than some others in many places in the book. Just for one example, he recalls at the "Last Waltz" that when Joni Mitchell came out to perform, that he was quite surprised that she came up to him and kissed him. Well... if you watch the film, you'll see that he steps forward and kisses Joni? How do you get something so simple and that is on film incorrect? So this makes me question what important details he may have changed to pad his ego and shine a more positive light on himself. I also disliked that he totally dismissed the Band's last record, "Islands" as nothing but b-sides and a contractual obligation. I loved that record and he barely covered it. But the biggest disappointment was that the book ends when the Last Waltz is over. Like I said, we are not getting the whole story. What about him not attending Richard Manuel's funeral? And how about when Levon got cancer and it was said that he wouldn't give him a nickel to help? Many of us bought this book to hear his side of these issues and it was non-existent. So, you feel kind of cheated at the end. Maybe just like the rest of the Band felt? And those feelings may have not been all about money.
If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would! I literally could not stop reading. I have loved The Band since MFBP and am a rabid Robbie fan, so I knew I would like Testimony. However, I felt that I had read and collected so much over the years that I already knew everything. I was not prepared for what I would encounter. I started reading the first page and was immediately immersed in another world. Robbie has always been known as an outstanding songwriter/story-teller, but he outdid himself on this book. His words grabbed me by the hand and I walked his journey with him. His writing is so clear, concise, and descriptive, I saw his story through his eyes. I was there! Very few books have that effect on the reader so when you are lucky enough to find one, cherish it. I reluctantly emerged a few hours later and was sorry to come back. As the old saying goes.....I laughed, I cried, mostly I smiled. As I write this, I'm woefully aware that I do not have Robbie's talent for words. I am struggling to convey to you how great Testimony is. I can only tell you that I give it my highest recommendation, will definitely read it again and again, and pray there is a volume 2! Do yourself a favor and read this book!
I've read most of the rock star books. Life by Keith Richards was in a league of its own until Robbie Robertson's Testimony. Next to Keiths book this is the best book that has come out of the rock era. Robbie Robertson pulls no punches in describing the rise of the Band during the volatile years of the late sixties and early seventies. All of the excess is presented in detail. If you're a survivor of those times you'll recognize the feel of Woodstock ingrained in the pages. He treats the members of The Band with honest dignity and he avoids the long struggle with Levon Helm over publishing rights. Instead he focuses on the musical and spiritual journey of The Band. And he does include the infamous Bob Dylan tours when Dylan went electric. He also gives us a behind the scenes look at The Basement Tapes. This is a great book.
