	Rick Danko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Danko was born at the tail end of 1942 in Green's Corner, Ontario, a farming community outside of the small town of Simcoe, 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 for the second album.
		The dismal showing of the album, however, barely cracking the Billboard 200, destined it for rarity status, and Danko, though having recorded a follow-up, was dropped from Arista.

	"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".

		Danko hadn't released a solo album since his 1977 self-titled solo debut, though he recorded two albums in the Nineties with singer/songwriters Eric Anderson and Jonas Fjeld: 1993's Danko/Anderson/Fjeld and 1997's Riding on the Blinds.
		Danko was a key member of the Band from the very beginning, when the group backed Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks.
		When asked about Danko's history with the drug in relationship to his death, however, Fusco said that the musician had appeared to be in robust health.

		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.
		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.

		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.

		Though Danko's and the Band's fame have been mostly forgotten in recent years, their legacy and vital importance in rock music can't be understated.
		Danko was born Dec. 29, 1942, in the heart of Canada's "Tobacco Belt" in Simcoe, Ontario.
		Though the group toured and released subsequent albums (their latest, last year's "Jubilation," featured Clapton guesting on a track), the Band and the albums were mostly ignored by the public and anathematized by critics.

	Rick Danko: Times Like These
		Rick's voice was an agile instrument, able to cover many genre's of music, but you feel this is where it truly belongs with mandolins, accordions, banjo and pedal steel behind it.
		A return to a song Rick cowrote with Eric Clapton in 1976 when The Band were based in Malibu, working from their clubhouse/studio at Shangri-La. I always think of the song as the precursor to Rick's solo career.
		Rick performs a grand vocal to a version that retains a country feel to the album.

	Danko/Fjeld/Andersen
		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.
		Rick Danko first reached the world as a member of The Hawks, the Canadian backing group for Ronnie Hawkins that became Bob Dylan’s controversial “electric” band before establishing their own identity as The Band.
		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.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Danko, Rick
		By the early 60s, Rick and the other Hawks had outgrown the limited roadhouse and honky-tonk circuit and left Hawkins to pursue greener pastures.
		Danko recorded with Folk legend Eric Andersen and Norwegian singer/songwriter Jonas Fjeld in 1991 and one sidebar 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.
		In February, 1997, Rykodisc released 'Ridin' On The Blinds', the follow-up to Danko Fjeld Andersen, which was recorded in Norway in 1994.

	In Concert by Rick Danko: Album Reviews
		Perhaps the least heralded of the three great vernacular singers that made up the front line of the Band (Robbie Robertson doesn't count, at least not as a singer), Rick Danko may well have been the glue and the heart of the whole enterprise.
		Danko always seemed bare, open and naked when he sang this song in the Band's standard live set, and his solo career, in a way, mirrored it, with Danko sounding like an increasingly frayed nerve.
		Danko's death in 1999 makes this a particularly precious document of one of the most unique and unsung voices in rock.

	Rick Danko
		Rick Danko, whose high voice marked such roots-rock classics by The Band as "The Weight" and "Stage Fright," was found dead Friday morning (Dec. 10) at his Woodstock, N.Y., home.
		Danko, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Band in 1994, was born Dec. 29, 1942, in rural Simcoe, Ontario.
		The album, which included "The Weight" (RealAudio excerpt), "This Wheel's on Fire" and Dylan's "I Shall Be Released," was a landmark in the development of country-rock, though it was never a big seller; its highest position on the Billboard albums chart was #30.

		One of Danko's side projects, the critically acclaimed trio Danko/Fjeld/Andersen, in February released its second album, Ridin' on the Blinds, on the Rykodisc label.
		Danko said there are many old Band songs on which he and the others should have been credited as co-writers, instead of being credited solely to Robbie Robertson.
		Danko feels that the "new" Band -- with original members Danko, Helm and Garth Hudson augmented by Ciarlante, Jim Weider and Richard Bell -- is every bit as valid as the "old" Band.

		Danko's take on Andersen's "Blue River," Fjeld's "When Morning Comes to America" and Andersen's own "Mary I'm Comin' Back Home" are all homey ballads, each telling its own story, each wonderfully presented.
		Many of the songs from the first album are reprised, in loose renditions, marked by a sense of fraternity and professionalism.

	RollingStone.com: Rick Danko : Rick Danko : Review
		The band never did take much stock in garishness, so it's not surprising that Levon Helm and Rick Danko would introduce their first solo albums with humility and sobriety more akin to a Sunday-morning service than a Saturday-night session.
		Danko, too, has employed a number of name players (Eric Clapton, Doug Sahm, Tim Drummond and all of the Band, none of whom appears on the same cut) but primarily as designated hitters, relying instead on an anonymous, more flexible crew for his starting lineup.
		Danko seems to be fighting for his identity here and he's not sure he's winning.

		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.
		Danko's emotive harmonies, practically a constant, are a harrowing cry of true soul.

		‘Experts’ are inclined to under-appreciate Danko’s later work, opting instead for some sepia-toned memories of the Ontario woodchopper’s son amidst his original band colleagues in the 60’s and 70’s – but that is only part of the story of a 40-year career.
		It is fair to say that if Rick had not passed away before this album was finished ‘Book Faded Brown’ would probably not have been included due tom its inclusion on The Band’s ‘best kept secret’ Jubilation.

	Last Thoughts On Rick Danko [January 2000, Renaissance Online Magazine]
		The question is posed to singer/bassist Rick Danko by director Martin Scorcese.
		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.
		In the proper context of American art, the music of Rick Danko and The Band totals more than just melody and verse; as a symbolic sum, the songs form a question to our national character, a mirror to our sky and land, a hand to our collective heart.
