	In loving memory of Richard Clare Danko
		Rick quit school at 14 to pursue music full-time and in 1960, when he was 17, he joined rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins’ group, The Hawks, initially as rhythm guitarist.
		Rick’s penchant for musical hybrids began germinating, literally, in his own backyard in Simcoe, a town heavily populated with displaced Southern tobacco farmers.
		The almost immediate result of the trio’s collaboration was an award-winning album, Danko Fjeld Andersen (Stageway), which was honored in Norway with a Spellemans Pris (the Norwegian Grammy) for Record of the Year and was released in late 1993 by Rykodisc.

	Rick Danko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The third of four sons, Danko was born at the tail end of 1942 in Green's Corner, a farming community outside of the town of Simcoe, Ontario, to a musical family of Ukrainian-Canadians.
		Danko, who had sung lead on all or parts of five of the eleven tracks on the first album, only sang lead on two of the tracks on the second.
		Like Manuel, Danko was a long-time drug user; in 1997 he was found guilty of trying to smuggle heroin into Japan, and told the presiding judge that he had begun using the drug (together with prescription morphine) to fight life-long pain resulting from his 1968 auto accident.

	Rick Danko Band, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
		Danko was part of the split with Hawkins when the group broke away from their former employer, and he was along for the ride when they got picked up as Bob Dylan's backing band, and for the switch in name from the Hawks to the Band.
		Danko's bass work was distinctive enough, but along with Levon Helm and Richard Manuel, he was also one of the three singing members of the group, and his lead vocals were all over their debut album, Music from Big Pink.
		Danko toured occasionally during this period, but his physical condition made it difficult for him to go on the road; his weight increased dramatically as his health declined, and he was nowhere near his best at some shows.

		Rick Danko, little known as he may be, belongs on the bill, not because they were friends and collaborators of his but because they were his company, his peers, in the cream of our musical crop.
		Rick Danko was, by his own prideful claim, just a country boy, in love with and respectful of his roots; if nothing else, his career resurgence in the 1990s was all about this, about tracing a long and indirect arc back to what was most vital to him.
		Danko's recent singing may not have been as technically remarkable as when he was 25, but it was far more affecting as a result--a voice seasoned and smoothed through by insight and wit.

	"Rick Danko - "Live On Breeze Hill"
		Danko, who was inducted with The Band into "The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame" in 1994, is backed here by some of the finest musicians in the business (including Band-mate Garth Hudson and long time collaborator and Band co-producer Aaron "Louie" Hurwitz).
		Rick Danko is a true survivor and has written and performed music for close to 40 years, from his early days with Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks, Bob Dylan and held an illustrious career with The Band.
		Rick performed at the original Woodstock festival in 1969 and then returned in 1999 to play with fellow Woodstock alumni, David Crosby, Richie Havens, Johnny Winter, Arlo Guthrie and many others in front of 35,000 fans for the 30th Anniversary billed "A Day In The Garden".

	Article: "Rick Danko 1943-1999" by Gary Alexander
		Among those who related anecdotes and memories, John Simon observed Rick's amiable and direct manner; his talent for reaching deeply into the affections of those he met, appreciating the individuality of others and appealing to each in a way that made them feel they were equally sharing in some private joke between them.
		You can hear Danko's harmony contributions in the work of dozens of artists from Tom's own brilliant Woodstock Winter CD of a few years ago to the Irish group, Three Men and a Dog, there is no mistaking that voice in counterpoint and harmony even when you weren't expecting it.
		Rick rocks as he checks his bass against the double drum-section of Levon Helm and Randy Ciarlante (backs to camera) at a performance of The Band at The Night Shift Cafe, North Adams, Massachusetts, in February 1996.

	Rick Danko in Concert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rick Danko in Concert was Band bassist and singer Rick Danko's second solo release, issued in 1997 as the first release on the small Woodstock Records label, in which Danko and The Band had interests.
		Featuring live recordings of eight tracks previously issued on both early-period and late-period Band albums (with a cover of "Don't Mess Up A Good Thing" added to give keyboardist Aaron Hurwitz a vocal shot), it was culled from two low fidelity live shows given in early 1997 in Foxborough, Massachusetts and Clinton, New Jersey.
		The album features stripped-down arrangements, as only Danko (mostly sticking to guitar), Aaron Hurwitz (piano and accordion) and Band drummer Randy Ciarlante are present.

		About the latter, Danko is quoted by Rob Bowman in the liner notes of The Band CD reissue as laughing that he was "a little too drunk, a little too high"- may I remind you that he broke his stupid neck, damaged his back, and got at least one nifty facial scar.
		Rick had become a veritable stand-up comedian, his between-song patter now getting equal time with the music, but the humor's implicit jadedness was overwhelming and inescapable.
		In total, Rick's segments here made me feel the same way I had at the Hotel Syracuse show: that the world of grownups living real lives is hard and scary and ugly and full of self-delusion, and that I'll forever be an alien in it--nothing like what he intended anyone to feel I'm sure.

		Rick Danko wrote this song together with Clapton when The Band was based at Malibu and operating from their clubhouse / studio Shangri-La. Eric put it on his No Reason To Cry album.
		Danko’s voice, while remaining the distinctly mournful instrument of his youth, mellowed to equal parts milk and whiskey.
		This version of the song is a fitting coda to Danko’s life, lingered over lovingly and masterfully by the Crowmatix with Band cohort Garth Hudson, a veritable one-man Fellini soundtrack on accordion.

		And, as such, they brought Danko, the Canadian son of a farmer, and his three Northern brethren-along with the Southern bred Helm-fame, fortune and riches far beyond any of them could have dreamed when they met and plied their trade in Canadian honky tonks in the late 1950s.
		Danko, along with the other group members, paid his dues with a grueling three years of one-night stands and rehearsals, which, by the ripe age of 20, left him with an undeniable musical education.
		In 1978, his debut solo album, the self titled "Rick Danko," was hailed by fans and critics as a strong continuation of the Band’s sound.

		When Eric Andersen, one of folk’s preeminent singer-songwriters, Rick Danko, the Band bassist with the heartbreaking voice, and Jonas Fjeld, the renowned Norwegian performer and songwriter, played an impromptu gig in Woodstock, N.Y., in the fall of 1990, there was “magic in the air,” according to Andersen.

		Danko remained a recording and touring member of the group long after their ostensible “Last Waltz” farewell to the road and also maintained an intermittent solo career before his death in 1999.

		Rick Danko, the thumping bottom to The Band, the creators of roots rock, country rock, civil war rock, whatever you want to call it, has died after battling a heart condition and drug addiction.
		Rick Danko's music from Breeze Hill and Times Like These is very special and highlights a talent and a man so many of us didn't know and appreciate while he was here.

	Rick Danko - Concert Vault – Where Live Music Lives
		As one of the members of the legendary Canadian group, the Band, Rick Danko had attained rock royalty status among critics and rock fans alike by the mid-1960s.
		By 1980, Danko was without a record deal and, although he continued to tour as a solo act (and with performers such as Paul Butterfield and Jorma Kaukonen), he would eventually rejoin the Band for three more albums and tours without cornerstone member Robbie Robertson.
		Sadly, Danko died in December of 1999 from a heart attack many feel was brought on by years of drug and alcohol abuse.
