    About this ebook

    Canadian guitarist and songwriter Robbie Robertson is known mainly for his central role in the musical group the Band. But how did he become one of Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists of all time? Written by his son, Sebastian, this is the story of a rock-and-roll legend's journey through music, beginning when he was taught to play guitar at nine years old on a Native American reservation. Rock and Roll Highway is the story of a young person's passion, drive, and determination to follow his dream.

      HALF A CENTURY! Can it really be 50 years since six odd-bods without a recording contract booked a studio in Piccadilly to make an LP which still sounds as odd as a cat with two tails? It takes some believing what a thin year 1972 was for pop music.

      Great biography of the Canadian musician and songwriter by Robertson's son. Young Robbie Robertson, whose mother is full-blooded Mohawk, received his introduction to music while visiting relatives at the First Nation Indian Reservation and it quickly became his obsession that served him well in a career playing with Ronnie Hawkins, Bob Dylan, The Band, and a distinguished solo career. Robertson's love for and devotion to music is inspiring and infectious.
