Extended guitar solos, fuzz, psychedelic references, and screaming vocals were nowhere to be found. Instead, the listener found the understated guitar, storytelling songs, thoughtful arrangements, and brother-like vocal harmonies. In today's player spotlight, we take a look at Robertson's early days with the Hawk, through the mid-era of The Band, mainly focusing on the period of time that Robertson played a Telecaster. We also take a look at the black Tele he was gifted by Dylan, which was modified through the years and was his main guitar through much of the Band era. Robbie passed away on August 9th, 2023 at the age of 80. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/65w... Gear used: 1959 Fender Harvard with stock Jensen P10R 1957 Fender Esquire with added neck pickup.
