Three
Grammy awards, an ever-growing audience,
a sterling musical reputation: What is
there about Woodstock resident and
musician Levon Helm that fans don’t know
about?
“Ain’t In It For My Health: A Film about
Levon Helm,” a documentary that will
make its world premiere next month, may
provide surprising revelations about the
troubled side of a remarkable life.
In the film, directed by Jacob Hatley,
Helm looks squarely at his life since
the demise of the first incarnation of
The Band in 1976 — throat cancer,
bankruptcy, drug addiction and the loss
of long-time band mates, Richard Manuel
and Rick Danko.
