The Band is hardly Southern Americana. The Last Waltz is great though.

Levon Helm is from Arkansas and this song, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, is a tribute song to the Old South and the Confederacy's loss. You can't find much of anything more Southern Americana than this song.

I was commenting on The Band but fair enough.

Indeed he was - born and grew up there ...

Of course, he later lived in Toronto, ON ... and eventually settled in Woodstock, NY, where he resided until his death ...

BTW - it's appears that the song "The Night They Drive Old Dixie Down" was actually written by Robbie Robertson - a Canadian - with some help/assistance from Levon Helm:

The_Night_They_Drove_Old_Dixie_Down

Of course, Canada is actually part of "America" ... so it still qualifies as "Americana" ... irrespective of the northern (and "foreign") authorship ...
