 Peter Viney: The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
The song Dixie was written in 1859 by Daniel Decatur Emmett (who came from Ohio), and became the marching tune for the Confederate armies.[7] It was played at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis in 1861.
As to "the night" I'd say it was a double strike - the night was the night of the surrender, but it also utilises the image of night … death … for the Confederacy.
The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down became a kind of Exhibit A in the vast amount of critical musing The Band inspired on its release in the fall of 1969.

This was also the set where the strain of trying to shake my money maker and balance at the same time took it's toll on the flimsy gauze of my ethnic bedspread style caftan top.
So oblivious, flapping in the breeze, I apparently missed the part where the guitar player stealthily turned down the volume on the singers' mike, from 5 to say 1.
Down the road there was plenty of chance for backup singing, (no more fronting the band), and hey, even some awesome tambourine shaking of my own.

 THE BAND'S THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
For all of the musical allusions to old folk and country antecedents, there were other less definable nods to American R&B and early rock 'n' roll; sometimes, it was more of an attitude than anything else.
As for the song's inspiration, Robertson told writer Rob Bowman, “I had the music in my head for ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’ and had no idea what the song was about.
Propelled by the surprise hit “Up on Cripple Creek,” and strong FM airplay for “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Rag Mama Rag” and “Across the Great Divide,” the album rocketed into the Top 10 and established The Band as a real force in rock.

My brother has been wanting to hear the version of this song that Emmylou sang...I don't know where he heard it or if she recorded it...or if she sang with someone else.
She sang it at one of the Kerry-oke's in Nashville but she's never recorded it.
The version by Joan Baez is truly dreadful but, whilst on this subject, can I again urge anyone who hasn't got the album from which this song originally came, The Band - The Band (otherwise know as their second album) to add it to their collection.
