The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down – An Anthemic Requiem for a Fallen Confederacy
Drenched in the sorrowful dew of a Confederate twilight, The Band’s 1969 classic ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’ stands as an enduring portrait of the fractured American soul. Threading the painful finality of the Civil War through the loom of rock and Americana music, this evocative narrative ballad captures the heartbreak of defeat and the unyielding march of time.
