Naked Gods: Rick Danko (Was an Honest Man)

Written and performed by Naked Gods
Album: Welcome Home, 2008

Listen:

One [song] to mention Rick is a tune called "Rick Danko (Was an Honest Man)" by the [North] Carolina-based band Naked Gods. "The song actually has very little to do with Rick Danko," the band's Seth Sullivan tells me, "though Rick and The Band are all big heroes to us musically, and that is the reason we named the song after him." But why the peculiar title? "It's something I said one night when I was stating the reason Rick was my favorite member of The Band."
