Jonas Fjeld: Tidevann

Rick Danko opened a new world for me. He enlarged my self-confidence and confirmed that I was good enough both as a singer and a guitarist. It was fantastic to work with a musician that is one of my heroes. I have to admit that I pinched myself in the arm at times, when I was standing up there singing harmony with Rick. --Jonas Fjeld, August 2001

Jonas Fjeld, 2001

Jonas Fjeld's 2001 solo album Tidevann contains mostly new Norwegian songs, with music by Jonas Fjeld and lyrics by his long-time partner Ole Paus and others. The song "Rick" (Fjeld/ Paus) is a tribute to the late Rick Danko, with guest appearances by Garth Hudson on accordion and Eric Andersen on guitar. It is followed by "Frozen North", a song written for what should have been the third Danko/ Fjeld/ Andersen album.
