0 - Default Title
Description
Times Like These is the last solo album Rick Danko, lead singer and bass player of The Band made. All members of the 90 s line-up of The Band are present. Danko s voice, while remaining the distinctly mournful instrument of his youth, mellowed to equal parts milk and whiskey. Highlights include a less urgent and wiser artist wraping his pipes around his signature tune This Wheel s On Fire (a co-write with Bob Dylan), which is drawn out on both ends by elegant instrumental passages. This version of the song is a fitting coda to Danko s life. Let The Four Winds Blow , a Fats Domino cover, recorded live with Levon Helm on harmonica and longtime Danko / Band associate Professor Louie Hurwitz on piano. And a cover of The Grateful Dead's "Ripple" - with Hudson and Helm once again making appearances - is delivered with the rustic charm of a back porch session (albeit a highly skilled one). Danko and his friend singer/songwriter Tom Pacheco wrote You Can Go Home Again . A ballad about the refugees the world over.
