It is still difficult to believe that Rick Danko left this earth. He's missed but, he leaves behind a rich legacy. In addition to his recordings with The Band, there is now "Times Like These", a collection of 10 solo work recorded shortly before his death. Several of the songs on this cd had been recorded with the intent of releasing an album to followup "Live On Breeze Hill". Other material was added to complete this cd, two of them live performances. The gorgeous title track and an amazing cover of The Dead's "Ripple" are but two of the gems. Guest musicians include longtime Band-mates Levon Helm and Garth Hudson. Danko has always had a voice well suited to introspective ballads, and the material here - it's perfect. Times Like These is both a fitting tribute and apt benediction for Danko.  More Info and to Purchase Please <Click Here>

On August 16th 2005 at 7:20 am Nashville time, the angels in heaven stopped singing for a moment, as they heard the most beautiful music approaching from a distance - the high lonesome sound of Vassar Clements' fiddle. We are deeply saddened by the passing of this truly wonderful and beautiful man whose purpose in life on Earth was in spreading love and happiness to people, both through his music and through his generosity and light of spirit.

Vassar indeed has touched the lives of so many of us, and we can all count ourselves as blessed to have been witness to the musical genius and kind-hearted nature of this great yet humble man.  continued........
