	Neil Young Album Reviews
		Perhaps this was due to the fact that Crazy Horse, which had brought out Neil's aggression the last time out (particularly Danny Whitten), was dismissed due to Whitten's unreliable drug-related behavior, or perhaps it was simply circumstance, as the album was supposed to be the soundtrack to a film that was never released.
		At this time, Neil again asked Danny Whitten to attend the sessions for what was supposed to be the follow up to Harvest, but when Whitten was still too drugged up to be of any use Neil had no choice but to send him on his way.
		The liner notes state that "this album was made for Danny Whitten and Bruce Berry, who lived and died for rock n' roll," and in many ways this album is Neil's heartbroken response to their sad passing.

	The Whitewolf Zone - Danny Hutton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Danny is actually quite a legendary figure in the early days of Los Angeles' emergence as a major music center in the 1960s.
		It was Danny's vision that led to the formation of the group that became Three Dog Night, and his friendship with Brian that led to their first demos, which Brian produced.
		Danny and I had the chance, in this 2003 conversation, to try to cover as much of that ground as possible, from his solo days through TDN's glory years and beyond.

		All too soon, Young would be literally eulogizing the band's guitarist and erstwhile singer, Danny Whitten.
		Whitten was a man out of time; his artful, uncluttered songs seem steeped more in the verities of early rock and roll than in the convolutions of the late Sixties.
		Danny Whitten died at twenty-nine of a heroin overdose on November 18th, 1972.

		Crazy Horse is Neil Young's backup group--the original group, which was comprised of Danny Whitten on guitar, Billy Talbot on bass, and Ralph Molina on drums.
		At the time he died, Whitten was mourned more as a tragic life cut short by substance abuse, and not so much as an artist of consequence whose work would be missed.
		Danny Whitten overdosed in 1972, shortly after failing to be sober enough to tour with Neil Young.

	Welcome to Streets Online Singer \ Songwriter Tonights The Night (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		About as far away from the hit record Harvest as it is possible to get, this album is dedicated to Danny Whitten and Bruce Berry, two friends who died from heroin overdoses.
		Where this was merely touched on in previous albums, it becomes the near-obsessive theme of this album, which revels in its own despair and is one of the most personal albums ever released, with the title tracks detailing Berry`s death.
		The inclusion of an 1971 Whitten performance of a song about meeting his heroin dealer is another master stroke, and adds another level of sadness an already melancholy album.

		But just as their own recording career began, Whitten became addicted to heroin, which hampered his talents and desire to play with the band, resulting in his leaving by 1972.
		When Young heard about Whitten's deteriorating condition (Young wrote "Needle and the Damage Done" for him), he wanted to help out his old friend and asked Whitten to be part of his touring band.
		But when Whitten proved to be too far gone during rehearsals, he was fired.

		Inspired by the overdose deaths of two of Young's friends, roadie Bruce Berry and guitarist Danny Whitten, the title track (and its closing reprise) is a hypnotic cry of "why?" Even the relative party songs, "Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown" and "Roll Another Number," fit the album's bus-to-nowhere resignation.
		First Danny Whitten, a guitarist with Crazy Horse and songwriter ("I Don't Want To Talk About It") overdosed on heroin in 1972, using the money Young had given him along with a plane ticket home, fired after a disasterous recording session.
		Appearantly they were getting ready for a tour and Danny couldn't get his crap together so Neil told him to go back to L.A. and that night he OD, and so Neil felt responsible for his death.

		The title track, performed twice, was a direct narrative about Berry: "Bruce Berry was a working man / He used to load that Econoline van." Whitten was heard singing "Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown," a live track recorded years earlier.
		But the style worked perfectly for the material, emphasizing the emotional tone of Young's mourning and contrasting with the polished sound of CSNY and Harvest, which Young also disparaged.
		Though it did not become one of his bigger commercial successes, the album immediately was recognized as a unique masterpiece by critics, and it has continued to be ranked as one of the greatest rock & roll albums ever made.

	HyperRust: FUNHOUSE! "TFA" Review
		After rehearsals, it was obvious that Danny Whitten was in no condition to tour, as Whitten was in the midst of trying to kick a heroin addiction by substituting large quantities of other drugs in its place.
		A day later Whitten was dead of an overdose, having used the severance money to buy the drugs that killed him.
		Without the vocal support of Whitten, he was forced to carry more of the vocal chores than ever before.

		It wasn’t too long before Billy met Danny Whitten in LA. Danny was a fellow singer with similar aspirations, and before long they (along with Ralph Molina) were performing as the vocal group Danny and the Memories.

	Varese Sarabande Product Details
		Over a deceptively simple and hypnotic rhythm, Danny Whitten’s electric guitar begins a slow but determined build, erupting into fits and snarls and showers of sparks, never turning to speed riffs but relying instead on the pulse and amplified grit of two or three notes.
		The Rockets was originally released in 1968 on White Whale Records, the same label that had turned the world on to The Turtles and “Happy Together.” Four years earlier, Danny Whitten and Billy Talbot as Danny & the Memories, had released one single.
		After he recorded Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, on which he’d employed Whitten, Talbot, Molina and (on one song) Notkoff, Young wanted a road band and he wouldn’t take no for an answer so, Danny, Billy and Ralph rode off into history as three-quarters of Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

		Rockets [+] guitarist Danny Whitten [+] and bassist Billy Talbot [+] had been working together in L.A. since around 1964, where they made one single for the Valiants label as part of a group called Danny and the Memories.
		Young invited the band to tour as his backup group in early 1969, and then recruited Whitten, Talbot, and Molina (as well as, for the track "Running Dry," Notkoff) to play on his Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere [+] album.
		The idea had originally been for the Rockets [+] to continue recording and performing on their own, but as Young became more successful and continued to use the musicians on stage and in the studio, their commitment to Young overrode their own career.

		The death of Neil's discovery and friend, Danny Whitten seems to have affected him deeply.
		During this evening at the Rainbow, Neil makes particular reference to Miami Beach where he was safe from external influences and where a highly emotional and introverted process went its course.
		First of all a hopelessly out of tune rendition of 'Flying on the Ground is Wrong', followed by a new song again inspired by Danny Whitten and containing one line laden with significance 'Take my eyes from what they've seen' and a splendid, desperate 'Helpless' almost every note off-key and the guitar playing abyssmal.

	Neil Young
		Inspired by the overdose deaths of Danny Whitten in 1972 and his roadie Bruce Berry the following year, Young wrote and recorded the bleak, druggy Tonight's the Night late in 1973, but declined to release it at the time.
		The songs were deliberately underwritten and sketchy as compositions, their lyrics more suggestive than complete, but that made them useful as frames on which to hang the extended improvisations ("River" and "Cowgirl" were each in the nine-to-ten-minute range) Young played with Crazy Horse and to reflect the ominous tone of his singing.
		Young's natural inclinations to travel against the current of audience expectations were amplified by a stormy relationship between himself and his touring band, as well as the devastating death of guitarist Danny Whitten, who died of a drug overdose shortly after being given his pink slip during the first phase of tour rehearsals.

		Danny Whitten developed a serious drug habit and left Crazy Horse in 1971.
		Crazy Horse also announced Frank "Poncho" Sampredo as Whitten's official replacement.
