Ridin' on the Blinds is the second and final album by the folk-rock trio of Rick Danko, Jonas Fjeld and Eric Andersen, released in 1994.[1]
Among the tracks are tributes to Paul Butterfield ("Every Man Is His Own Hero") and Richard Manuel ("All Creation"), covers of the Band's "Twilight" and Tom Paxton's "Bottle of Wine", and a duet between Andersen and guest vocalist Kirsten Berg on Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day".
The group also covered songs from their respective solo careers, including Andersen's "Come Runnin' Like a Friend", "Lie with Me", and "Baby, I'm Lonesome", and Fjeld's "Your Eyes".
There were plans for a third album, but Rick Danko's 1997 arrest for drug possession put these plans on hold temporarily. After Danko's December 1999 death, these plans were put permanently to rest. The remaining duo toured with Danko's bandmate Garth Hudson in 2001 behind the expanded reissue of their debut, and no further albums have come.
