This Midnight Ramble captures Mavis and her band with Levon and his band, together again 35 years after The Band’s final performance The Last Waltz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaptured live in the summer of 2011, Carry Me Home showcases two of the past century’s most iconic voices coming together in love and joy, tracing their shared roots and celebrating the enduring power of faith and music. The setlist was righteous that night, mixing vintage gospel and soul with timeless folk and blues, and the performances were loose and playful, fueled by an ecstatic atmosphere that was equal parts family reunion and tent revival. Read between the lines, though, and there’s an even more poignant story at play here. Neither Staples nor Helm knew that this would be their last performance together—the collection marks one of Helm’s final recordings before his death—and listening back now, a little more than a decade later, tunes like “This May Be The Last Time” and “Farther Along” take on new, bittersweet meaning. The result is an album that’s at once a time capsule and a memorial, a blissful homecoming and a fond farewell, a once-in-a-lifetime concert—and friendship—preserved for the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is My Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrouble In My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarther Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand Writing On The Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove Along Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis May Be The Last Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Go Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide River To Cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Got To Move\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Got To Serve Somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"mavisstaples","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49118772297970,"sku":"CD0045778785926","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/9543\/1154\/files\/carry-me-home-cd.jpg?v=1777389477","url":"https:\/\/mavisstaples.portmerch.com\/products\/mavis-staples-levon-helm-carry-me-home-cd","provider":"Mavis Staples","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
