## Resource

Levon Helm’s move to Capitol Records in the early '80s was his final shot at keeping his musical vision alive. His bold choice to record at the iconic Muscle Shoals Sound Studio represented his commitment to authentic Southern rock at a time when synth-pop and MTV hits dominated the airwaves. Featuring a remarkable lineup of musicians, his second solo album, simply titled "Levon Helm," embodied his dedication to musical honesty over commercial success. Songs like "You Can't Win 'Em All" and "Money" showcase Helm’s gritty realism and uncompromising style. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
