Description
“I was looking for a simpler, fresher routing... I really like this new group. I can go out and perform the record now.”
Rick Danko was now out on his own. Nearly two decades with The Band left him wanting more. More music, more touring and more control. He told Harvey Kubernick in 1978, “I’m the focal point on stage this time, and it doesn’t bother me. I put this new group together, I telephoned them all. I sought out personalities who could bus and fly together and continue to put up with each other. What I do is collect performances from everyone. I make quicker decisions in this position than when I am a member of the Band.”
Outro song by Ian James Bain, stream his music everywhere.
