He also had a couple of minor hits as a solo with "Somewhere Down The Crazy River" and "Showdown At Big Sky".
R.I.P., Mr. Robertson. :\'(

Good musician but he was completely full of himself. He was his biggest fan.

R.I.P. to a legend :\'(
Somewhere Down the Crazy River was the third single from his self-titled debut album in 1987, and while it only peaked at #91 in Canada, I can tell you that it was played on the radio like it was a #1 hit. This song is an absolute masterpiece and I still love to listen to it today!

1988 - Showdown at Big Sky
1988 - Somewhere Down the Crazy River

I was unfamiliar with this - an unusual tune. But I like it! O0
