PigSooie Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What about Levon Helm from the band? To be honest, I suck at history. That's Kim's forte. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouisvilleGreg Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 To be honest, I suck at history. That's Kim's forte. You do know of The Band though right? If not, we've got to have an intervention, and quick. Just about as seminal as it gets. To be honest, I suck at history. That's Kim's forte. You do know of The Band though right?

Oil Can Boyd Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I forgot Galaxie 500 and (sort of) the Magnetic Fields (who started in Boston, moved to NY, but now Stephin Merritt lives in LA). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ryan AdamsAvett BrothersTift MerrittFor some reason your NC list made me think of Fetchin Bones (or maybe it was the mention of Galaxie 500 right below it). Whatever happened to that band, anyway? I'd love to track down their albums on CD. The members of the dB's were all from NC, though I think they got together in New York.
