Exploring the history of Canadian-American roots rock group, The Band.
Stephen Lewis returns to explore his new book Richard Manuel: His Life and Music, from the Hawks and Bob Dylan to The Band. We explore the life and struggles of Richard Manuel, diving into his early years, his role in the Band, and the toll fame took on his confidence. We talk about the dual identity Richard held—as both a gifted performer and a deeply sensitive songwriter.
The conversation covers the highs and lows of Richard’s career: the creative energy he brought to the group, his battles with addiction, and the tensions that shaped the band’s relationships. They examine the challenges of collaboration, how personal issues affected the music, and the impact of the 1980s on artists like Richard.
