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. (
