────┤ Notes  ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    └────────┘

     One of the premier songwriters of the rock era, Robbie Robertson was born
     July 5, 1943 in Toronto, Ontario. The son of a Jewish father and Mohawk
     mother, Jaime Robbie Robertson's first brush with live music came at the
     Six Nations Reservation, his mother's girlhood home; at the age of five, he
     also gained exposure to the country music of rural America. Not long after,
     he began taking guitar lessons from a cousin, and gradually began composing
     his first songs. As time wore on, his musical interests evolved from
     country to big band to rock, and he eventually dropped out of school to
     pursue a career as a performer.

     Released as a companion to Robertson's 2016 memoir of the same name,
     "Testimony" is the singer/songwriter's own take on his musical history - an
     18-track compilation that samples from every era of his career, from his
     time supporting Ronnie Hawkins to his stabs at moody trip-hop. While the
     book ends when the Band disbands, Testimony finds space for selections from
     his solo career - five songs total, with 1991's "Storyville" earning the
     largest play and the electronica aspects of 1998's "Contract From The
     Underworld Of Red Boy" and 2011's "How To Become Clairvoyant" diminished.
     Still, The Band naturally figures heavily into the equation here, but
     Robertson avoids his biggest hits along with some of his best-known songs.

     Instead, he culls heavily from The Band's Live at the Academy of Music 1971
     performance - it's better known as the 1972 LP "Rock Of Ages" - and the
     2005 Band box "A Musical History", which is where all the early cuts from
     Levon Helm & The Hawks and the Robertson-sung "Twilight (Song Sketch)" were
     first released. If "Testimony" is light on rarities, what matters is
     context. By piecing together all these elements of his career - including
     his time backing Hawkins ('Come Love') and Bob Dylan ('Rainy Day Women #12
     & 35' from 'Before The Flood') - he paints a fairly rich portrait of his
     musical achievements, so "Testimony" does indeed wind up being a musical
     memoir.
