Originally released in 2000, TIMES LIKE THESE was Rick Danko's final solo record, recorded just before his too-early death in 1999. Not recorded as an album as such, TIMES LIKE THESE is a collection of songs recorded between 1993 and 1999, some of them with the post-reformation lineup of the Band (including a cover of Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang.") Two others, "Book Faded Brown" and "Let the Four Winds Blow," were recorded at Danko's final concert, just days before his death in December 1999. The title track, in fact, was written in the 1970s, when the Band were a going concern, but never recorded at the time. Given this history, what's most impressive about TIMES LIKE THESE is that these 11 songs (including new versions of two of Danko's most famous tunes, "This Wheel's On Fire" and the Eric Clapton co-write "All Our Past Times") actually cohere as a complete, satisfying album.
Industry Reviews
...The material here is perfect....Both a fitting tribute and apt benediction for Danko...
