Tim Drummond RIP

The Rust List (Karl T Himmel facebook source) reports the death of Tim Drummond at 74. I can't confirm.Tim Drummond, bass player and songwriter was born in Canton, Illinois on 20 April 1940. Tim belongs to the strict group of the Nashville Cats and played and recorded with Neil Young, Bob Dylan, J.J.Cale and many others. He was the last surviving member of The Stray Gators, playing on the Neil' s Harvest album and the following TFA tour.
The true legend was reported as seriously ill from many years.

 

I enjoyed his work with Dylan during the Gospel Years. RIP.

 

Great talent. RIP!

 

Sad news. A great musician.

RIP.

 

Brilliant bass playing on Harvest! If you've forgotten, then give it another listen.
Sad news...... RIP

 

Also played with James Brown for a time. A real talent. RIP.

 

RIP

 

RIP

I think he was great here:

 

Sad day. R.I.P.

 

Have lost a fair number of Neil Young contributors in recent years. Sad News, R.I.P.

 

Sadly confirmed on the Astrid Young FB page.

 

You can also see him on the CSNY '74 Wembley concert. For several reasons, these things aren't ever officially released. The same for the Bob Toronto 1980 . concerts.

 

He also played on the Hot Spot soundtrack.

 

A damn shame. Becoming far too frequent.

 

We've lost another in quite a string lately. Saw him many times over the years. Rest in peace, Tim.

 

A very talented player. His work with Neil Young is very good. Rest in peace, Tim.

 

RIP

 

another NY alumni gone.

They're not getting any younger. It's a sad truth. And kind of frightening.
RIP Tim.

 

RIP Tim, thanks for the music.

 

Perhaps his most famous moment with "The Godfather Of Soul" was on "I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me)."

 

RIP. His talent will be missed.

 

amazingly talented gent. i would be a bit wary if i were someone associated with mr. young in the past. there seems to be some weird mojo working in his camp of associates. maybe croz knew something and is just distancing himself for safety reasons.

 

Great player, great loss.

 

loved his work. Neil's band is dwindling quickly.

 

what do you expect? they're just getting old. 74 is old, especially in rock and roll years.
