very sad this hour to learn of the passing of my old and dear friend, the great bassist tim drummond. his sprawl was immense, having played with a diversity of seminal artists --from james brown to conway twitty, through to ry cooder and neil young, and in the latter pair's most significant periods. as well, he gave up and held down gospel's supreme and funky authority in service to bob dylan, when gospel was the scrambling poet's preferred delivery system.
tim was the bassist on my own second album, "murder of crows" in 1988, and did in that moment what no musician i had long admired had yet done: he treated me like a peer. and it changed me.
rest easy, timmy. put on those fur slippers and glide. |

Tim was a wonderful guy and an amazing bassist. He had his share of problems unfortunately, but I loved playing with/talking to him. Sad indeed.

| When I first met Tim he was with Lonnie Mack at the Half Way House in Hamilton,O somewhere around 1966-67. |
