Declared a "guitar genius" by Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson was one of the men responsible for electrifying folk music in the 1960s and creating some of the era's classic, rootsy, blues rock. Born in Toronto, Canada to a Jewish father and Native American mother, Robertson (real name Jaime Klegerman) was taught to play by relatives from a young age and joined local bands Little Caesar and the Consuls and Thumper and the Trambones as a teenager. His break came when he befriended rockabilly star Ronnie Hawkins and became lead guitarist in his backing group The Hawks alongside Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel. After splitting from Hawkins, The Hawks backed Dylan on his controversial 1966 "Judas" tour of Europe and played on his legendary album Blonde On Blonde, before finding fame in their own right as The Band. Their brand of country-rock, folk-blues and Americana produced acclaimed albums Music From Big Pink (1968), The Band (1969) and Rock Of Ages (1972) and would later influence artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Wilco and Eric Clapton. Robertson left the group after their iconic Last Waltz farewell gig in 1977 and went on to produce albums for Neil Young and soundtracks for Martin Scorsese's films Raging Bull, The Color of Money and The King of Comedy before debut solo record Robbie Robertson (1987) featured Peter Gabriel and U2. He went on to explore his personal history on solo debut Music For The Native Americans (1994) and experimented with electronica on Contact From The Underworld Of Redboy (1998), before having a resurgence of popularity and reaching Number 13 on the US charts with the critically praised How To Become Clairvoyant in 2011.
