In tribute to the late, great Levon Helm, here's a rush-released track from the forthcoming album Jeff Slate - Birds of Paradox. The track was written by Jeff with The Band as an inspiration and was being mixed (by Dennis Ferrante) as news broke that Levon's health had taken a turn for the worst.

The core band includes Jeff Slate (vocals, guitar), Jimmy McElligott (guitar), Gary Van Scyoc (bass), Adam Ippolito (piano, Hammond) and Steve Holley (drums). The track also includes guest appearances by Eric Lichter (backing vocals), Gene Parsons (backing vocals, steel guitar), Paolo Provenzano (percussion) and a horn section from Wayne Cobham and friends.
