Originally by The Band, released in 1968 and written by Robbie Robertson

We played this song live a few times as a tribute to Levon Helm following his passing in April 2012.

Neil and our friend Richard Cook talked about recording a version of the song, collaboratively, with some other local musicians.

We went into Keith Angel's Wavelength studio www.wavelengthstudios.co.uk and cut the track live, adding vocals by Rita Payne, Jayne Angel (of Orchestre Ruffanti) and John Caile.

The hard drive containing the track was lost before we could mix or revisit,  so the song as it is presented here is how it went down and sounded  in the room that night.

We hope you like it!

Performed by Famous Villains with Richard Cook.





The Weight ('The Band')

Dig this tune. Vocals are way harder than I thought when I started this thing... So, I found a vocal track from the man who wrote it. Great song Mr. Dan Wilson. All instruments were performed by Kevin Reuter.

Closing Time - Semisonic

Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
I’m waiting for this sky to fall
I’m waiting for a sign
All we are
Is all so far

You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
Hope you remember me
When you're home sick 
and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails I’ll wait
I’m praying that you don’t burn out
Or fade away
