Posthumous Recognition
The Drive-By Truckers' song "Danko/Manuel" was released on their album The Dirty South in 2004. "Originally Isbell tried to tell the story of Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and The Band's demise, but found the scope of the concept too difficult to actually do justice to their story, and instead shifted the concept to a telling of life of a musician through the eyes and actions of Danko and Manuel. Isbell stated that the horn parts for the song came to him in a dream."
Steve Forbert released "Wild as the Wind (A Tribute to Rick Danko)," on his album Just Like There's Nothin' To It in 2004. http://theband.hiof.no/articles/SteveForbertBandBite3.html

On IrishTimes.com (April 20, 2012), Laurence Mackin wrote that ". . .Together with bass player Rick Danko, Helm formed one of the finest rhythm sections to ever put a groove to a beat, and a partnership that formed the backbone of The Band. In Danko, he had the perfect complementary player, one of the finest bassists and one of the gentlest souls. His music was subtle, his instinct for just the right note unwavering – he could play one beat in four bars, but lord could he make it count. Their subtle, intense rhythmic conversation brought shape and distinction to the Band’s music – it gave it heart and soul. . ." http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/pursuedbyabear/2012/04/20/levon-helm-an-appreciation/

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or recognition:
“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
