Ridin' On The Blinds
''Ridin' on the Blinds'' was the second and final album by the folk-rock trio of Rick Danko, Jonas Fjeld and Eric Andersen. Released in 1994, it was different from its predecessor in that its focus was rootsier, influenced more by the folk leanings of the group than their rock leanings. Among the tracks are tributes to Paul Butterfield ("Every Man Is His Own Hero") and Richard Manuel ("All Creation"), definitive readings of The Band's "Twilight" and Tom Paxton's "Bottle of Wine" and a duet between Andersen and guest vocalist Kirsten Berg on Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day". Work was planned for a third trio album three years later when Rick Danko's arrest for drug possession put these plans on hold temporarily. Two years later, with Rick Danko's December 1999 death, these plans were put permanently to rest. The remaining duo toured with Danko's bandmate Garth Hudson in 2001 behind the album ''One More Shot'', though no further albums have come. Track listing #"Ridin' on ...
