Bob Dylan Pays Tribute to Garth Hudson: ‘The Real Driving Force Behind The Band’

Bob Dylan had frequently performed alongside Garth Hudson when The Band performed as his backing group throughout the '60s.

Bob Dylan has shared a tribute to the late Garth Hudson – The Band ’s longtime keyboardist and organist – just days after the beloved Canadian musician’s death at the age of 87. Hudson’s death occurred on Jan. 21, almost a week prior to Dylan’s tribute, becoming the final member of The Band’s most famous lineup to pass away in the process. Hudson officially began his tenure with The Band in 1965, after they had finished a two-year stint as The Hawks, the back-up group for rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins.
