NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this “robust, wry, gritty, and wise” (The Wall Street Journal) memoir, Robbie Robertson tells the spellbinding story of the band that changed music history, his extraordinary personal journey, and his creative friendships with some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
The basis for the documentary Once Were Brothers, executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Brian Grazer, and Ron Howard
“Testimony reads like one long, grand adventure through rock’s golden age, as told by a world-class raconteur.”—Billboard
“High-spirited, hugely enjoyable, and generous from start to finish.”—The New York Times Book Review
Robbie Robertson’s singular contributions to popular music have made him one of the most beloved songwriters and guitarists of his time. With songs like “The Weight,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and “Up on Cripple Creek,” he and his partners in the Band fashioned a music that has endured for decades and changed the language of rock ’n’ roll, first with Bob Dylan and then on their own.
In Testimony, Robbie employs his unique storyteller’s voice to weave together the journey that led him to some of the most pivotal events in music history. This is the story of revolution as the world tumbled through the ’60s and early ’70s, and a generation came of age, built on music, love, and freedom. Above all, it’s the moving story of the profound friendship between five young men who together created a new kind of popular music.
Testimony is Robbie Robertson’s story, lyrical and true, as only he could tell it.
