 Ralph Molina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ralph Molina is an American musician, best known as the drummer for Neil Young's backing band Crazy Horse.
Molina has been a member of Crazy Horse since they were formed in 1962 as Danny and the Memories.
He has remained throughout the band's many personnel changes, and has performed on all 20 releases by the band, with and without Young.

 Crazy Horse : Left for Dead - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
In 1987, Crazy Horse mainstays Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot had a falling-out with their perennial employer, Neil Young, who, in his mercurial way, had decided to organize a horn-filled R&B band called the Bluenotes.
Left for Dead, the fifth Crazy Horse album in 18 years (and the first in 11), its title seeming an unmistakable allusion to the treatment received from Young, is also the fifth Crazy Horse album with a different frontline of musicians.
Molina and Talbot are in place as ever, but there is a new lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and primary songwriter, Sonny Mone, and a new lead guitarist, Matt Piucci, formerly of the Rain Parade.

 Young, Crazy Horse ride high in Jarmusch film
Crazy Horse is a great act to pick for a documentary, given their nearly 30 years of existence and their on-again, off-again status as Young moves from project to project.
Listening to the musicians struggle to try to explain what is essentially at this point in their careers almost an instinctive feel for playing together only deepens the mystery, although it's clear that they are very professional about their approach, despite their glorified garage band reputation.
Molina and Sampedro both point out that other musicians Young plays with could play circles around them.

 Crazy Horse - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: Out of all the backing bands Neil Young has recorded and performed with during his long and illustrious career, the best-known of the bunch (and perhaps one of the greatest garage rock bands of all time) remains Crazy Horse.
With Sampedro deciding to stay behind and play with Young, Molina and Talbot recruited new members Matt Piucci (guitar/vocals) and Sonny Mone (guitar) and carried on under the name Crazy Horse, issuing their fifth album in 1989, the less-than-stellar Left for Dead.
But as previously in Young's career, it was only a matter of time until he gathered up the old troops, as Crazy Horse (sans Piucci and Mone) rejoined Young and Sampedro in time for the 1990 back-to-basics record Ragged Glory.

 Crazy Horse (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The band began in 1962 as the doo wop group Danny and the Memories, with Danny being guitarist Danny Whitten, and counting future Crazy Horse stalwarts Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina as members, the latter two the only individuals present in every incarnation of the band.
Talbot and Molina drafted several musicians to replace Whitten, bringing back George Whitsell and several others for the pair of Crazy Horse albums from 1972, but by mid-year Whitten had begun to unravel.
That same year, Crazy Horse, down again to Talbot and Molina, announced Frank "Poncho" Sampredo as their new guitarist, his recording debut with the band being Young's Zuma album of 1975.

 Plan 9 - Neil Young/Crazy Horse : Greendale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Personnel: Neil Young (vocals, guitar, harmonica, organ); Billy Talbot (vocals, bass); Ralph Molina (vocals, drums).
Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro is absent, leaving Young backed only by the primal thump of Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina, but a number of the tunes stretch out to 10 minutes or more, forcing you to confront the transcendentally ragged simplicity and eloquence of Young's guitar and musical vision.
Ultimately, the effect is not unlike that of latter-day Bob Dylan or Lou Reed--a veteran rock poet fully immersed in his idiom pushes its boundaries to meet his idiosyncratic needs, simultaneously confounding expectations and leaving deep footprints in the landscape of modern musical art.

Neil Young soon became a fan and in 1969 asked Whitten, Talbot, and Molina to be his backing band.

Six years went by between the release of Crazy Horse's third album, At Crooked Lake, and its fourth, Crazy Moon, and a lot of water went under the bridge in the meantime.
Crazy Horse was, in effect, three different bands on its first three albums because the only constants were bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina as lead singers, songwriters, guitarists, and keyboardists came and went.
The band name seemed to be retired by 1973, but in 1974 Talbot and Molina hooked up with singer/guitarist Frank Sampedro as Crazy Horse, leading to sessions with their erstwhile employer Neil Young that resulted in the Young/Crazy Horse album Zuma.

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.
Drummer Ralph Molina joined in ’66, and the band relocated to San Francisco where their ranks swelled with the addition of guitarist brothers George and Leon Whitsell.
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.

And also like Dylan, Young's fans accept the occasional miss because they know that when he hits the mark - as he has done on this new concept album - there is an undisputed touch of genius.
Greendale, recorded here with Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot from Crazy Horse, is billed as a 'musical novel' about a fictional seaside American town in northern California and the characters that inhabit it.
This is also the story of the Green family, led by Grandpa, which Young details in a rambling discourse in the liner notes.

Young's 90-minute closing set was so searing and powerful, it almost rendered the rest of the day's music inconsequential.
Young's long-time Crazy Horse ensemble, with guitarist ''Pancho'' Sampedro, bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina, showed concert-goers what a real rock band can be.
The quartet was absolutely stunning; powerfully jamming and stretching on such Young hits as ''Down By the River'' and ''Tonight's the Night'' and strutting their stuff on more unfamiliar songs from Young's recent album in which he was backed by Pearl Jam members.

Bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina were joined by guitarist Frank “Poncho” Sampedro after guitarist Danny Whitten’s premature death in 1972 to continue Crazy Horse right up to the present.
Live At The Fillmore East has been the subject of devotion among Neil Young followers since the shows themselves in 1970, when Young and Whitten’s dueling guitars were credited as one of the best match-ups in rock history.
