I always loved Tim Drummonds bass playing on the Neil Young stuff, so I wanted to do a deeper dive. I've put together this playlist of stuff Tim Drummond played bass on. Some of these albums have multiple bassists credited. I used Wikipedia to help trim out some of the tracks he did not play on, but I was wondering if anybody might be interested in taking a look, or a listen, and helping me figure out which other tracks can be cut out.

Impressive, but missing two crucial tunes….

Not only does he get a solo, but also a shoutout from James…


When Lonnie Mack had something of a comeback on Alligator Records in the 80’s, this was a major fan favorite, and the most likely to get airplay on any blues radio programming…


His daughter has been on this site, I hope she finds this and adds any info.

Thank you all for the support on my Father's Birthday no less! I have the "Live at the Appolo" on his Remembering Tim Drummond FB page. I thought about posting on his Remembering group page. But started the day with "I am my Father's daughter" Jewel and Dolly Parton. He and the "Stray Gators" helped put her on the map, when two songs on "Pieces of You" got airplay, he's on both.:bassist:

I thought someone named Stu Ford was all about the playlist, he also says it's because his Mother had the Harvest album. What gives guys? What's the Hubub Bubs>

Well you didn't react so I'm guessing you are involved with Spotify, you could've at least come clean and answer.

Sterlene,

I work in the bookstore at a community college in Northern Michigan. I promise you I'm not affiliated with the Spotify company in any capacity. I'm just one of the many bassists who was influenced by your father's work. I thought it would be cool to make a playlist celebrating his career. This playlist is not posted publicly anywhere except for this thread on Talkbass. I apologize if this has bothered you any way. I certainly had no intentions of upsetting anybody. I was just wondering if you had any recommendations of recordings I should add to or remove from the playlist to make it more representative of Tim's career.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.

- Stu Ford

You sent me an email with the same catalog list you were compiling now on Spotify. What else would I think, my Father never had an account there and wish he never did- Too Late Now

Attention one and all. Streaming is the thorn in the side of all artists and catalog owners. They may make money on fees and subscriptions, but the trickle down to owners is miniscule. And I have a .05 check to prove it. Further, Spotify is currently under investigation for what they call "Bundling" they tout it as a way to combine your streaming with other services. When unfortunately, it's another way to sell artists even shorter. Do us all a favor and avoid them. I have a legacy to keep alive and the man's grandchildren to think about. I intend for them to know who he was and the impact he had on the industry.

Mods, please go ahead and shut this thread down.

I've deleted the playlist (from my personal Spotify account which costs me $11.99/month because I do not work there).

This did not go the way I had hoped it would. Out of respect for Tim's legacy we should all... stop listening to him? I honestly don't know. For those interested in listening to a great session player without upsetting their adult children, I recommend Carl Radle, Tommy Cogbill, Jerry Jemott, Chuck Rainey, Wilton Felder, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Willie Weeks, Lee Sklar or David Hood, to name a few.

I am pleased that people still have an interest in my father's work. As estate Administrator I consider it my responsibility to keep that legacy alive for the sake of his grandchildren. I intend for them to know about him and his mark on the industry. The issue is with not only streaming for which artists and owners receive very little, but Spotify as a whole. They are under investigation for their new bundling packages that are under the guise of a deal but more about monopoly and ways to release even less to the deserving. It's nothing personal, but I assure you I've dealt with quite a few underhanded issues in this industry. One has to be thorough in looking at everyone I'm involved in. I've just received another inquiry as to my position regarding the catalog. Not everyone has Drummond's best interests at heart, Unfortunately.-
