I just started listening to Rick Danko from The Band. I'm really impressed and inspired. Makes me wanna' give singing & playing a try. Heck... I might even start using a pick 
I've never really gotten too deep into roots rock. Can you guys offer me some listening suggestions? I'm guessing that Rick Danko is one of a kind, but if there are any other bassists out there like him, I'd love to know about them.
Thanks,
Joe

F'rinstance...
The Stones, Cream, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, Taste & even the first Led Zeppelin album (although that one may be the Next Level).
... or have I completely misread you? |

I liked roots rock and I never even knew it!

One of the only times I've been in the front row at a concert.
