In a way, Helm's album is pretty remarkable. After a long career recording folk music, he developed throat cancer and was told he wouldn't sing again. Which, for a singer, is pretty rough news. So for years, he disappeared. But through treatment and physical therapy, he got his voice back. This album was recorded at his house in Arkansas and is his first post-cancer album.

It's an incredibly impressive achievement, and it won him a Grammy in 2008.
