Robbie Robertson

Robbie Robertson
I asked Bob Dylan to paint the album cover for 'Music from Big Pink.' He said, 'Yeah, let me see what I can come up with.'
Robbie Robertson
I admire those old road dogs, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan. That's their life.
Robbie Robertson
Record making is an extraordinary experience.
Robbie Robertson
I like to work on records when I feel inspired, not because it's expected of me.
Robbie Robertson
My mother is extraordinary. She understood me and never tried to hold me back.
Robbie Robertson
