R.I.P. Robbie Robertson: The visionary main songwriter and guitarist for the Band, Robbie Robertson, died Wednesday at age 80 in his Los Angeles home, following a long illness.Robertson’s ascent paralleled that of the ’60s singer-songwriter-based rock ‘n’ roll movement, beginning in the band of roadhouse wildman Ronnie Hawkins, then supporting Bob Dylan as a member of the Band during Dylan’s rise from folk hero to rock icon, and then at the helm of the Band itself, which released its debut album, Music from Big Pink, in 1968 and became a musical powerhouse, revered in its own right.Many of the songs he wrote for the Band—including “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Weight,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” full of rich language that evoked an earlier era of life in the United States, and particularly in the South—become the foundation for a genre that would eventually become known as Americana. Ironically, Robertson was born in Canada and grew up on the Six Nations Reserve southwest of Toronto. But his first musical attractions were to blues and primal rock ‘n’ roll.While touring with Hawkins, and under the influence of incendiary guitarist Roy Buchanan, who was briefly a bandmate, Robertson developed a terse, muscular style, with solos and accents marked by squealing bent notes, intense vibrato, and repeated notes that called attention to lyric themes. He was a perfect accompanist for any singer.Robertson’s swan song with the Band was 1976’s The Last Waltz, one of the most notable concerts in the history of rock, which he arranged and brought to film with his friend, the director Martin Scorsese. The event included appearances by Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and other icons, and is considered one of the most important music documentaries, enshrined by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry.Over subsequent decades, Robinson made a handful of solo albums, including 1987’s Robbie Robertson and 1991’s Storyville, but turned the bulk of his ambitions toward film music. He created 14 soundtracks—the most recent for Scorsese’s Killer of the Flower Moon, which will be released in October. He also produced films, including 1980’s Carny, in which he starred.Variety published this statement from Robertson’s longtime manager, Jared Levine: “Robbie was surrounded by his family at the time of his death, including his wife, Janet, his ex-wife, Dominique, her partner Nicholas, and his children Alexandra, Sebastian, Delphine, and Delphine’s partner Kenny. He is also survived by his grandchildren Angelica, Donovan, Dominic, Gabriel and Seraphina. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Six Nations of the Grand River to support a new Woodland Cultural Center.”

This Fluence Signature Series set is one of the first to introduce three distinct sounds into the Modern ceramic and Modern alnico humbuckers with a hybrid magnet configuration.Based on the company’s Modern Humbuckers, Fishman added a Voice 3 to each pickup with a true, crystal-clear single coil tone, available alongside the two voices that RZK already loves.The hybrid magnet design utilizes Alnico V in the neck pickup and Ceramic VIII in the bridge. Available in sets of metallic red and brushed stainless finish, these pickups deliver all the tones and sonic versatility that RZK needs. The collaboration began over a year ago as Rammstein was about to tour, playing some of the largest stadiums to sold-out audiences all over the world. “RZK initially found himself gravitating towards the captivating tones of the Modern Series Humbuckers. However, it was a transformative encounter with our innovative hybrid magnet design that truly left a mark on him,” Fluence Brand Manager Ken Susi recalls.​RZK said this about his pickups, “If American pioneer spirit and German precision come together, a new pickup is born. The Fluence RZK Signature Series….. Powerful, reliable, tight, and unmistakable.”For more information, please visit fishman.com.
