Bassist Tim Drummond, who is best known for his work with Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Crosby, Stills and Nash, passed away on January 10, according to Rolling Stone. The St. Louis County coroner’s office confirmed the news to the publication. No cause of death was given. Drummond was 74.

Drummond’s work with Neil Young includes playing bass on 1972’s Harvest as well as every studio album from 1974-1980. He also became an in-demand session bassist, collaborating with the likes of Bob Dylan, Don Henley, Miles Davis and many others. Drummond was a part of Dylan’s “gospel trilogy” as well, playing bass on Slow Train, Coming, Saved and Shot of Love. He also accompanied Dylan on his Slow Train Coming tour.

RIP Tim. Hate reading how many musicians I grew up with are passing on. Knew him from Neil and Bob's work.

Tim also played with James Brown, among many others. While he lived in Nashville, he played some with a friend of mine and his band. He was asked, with great anticipation, one night what kind of great musical insight James provided, what was his philosophy towards music and what kind of great wisdom he shared.
Tim looked at the guy and said, "The only thing James ever said to me was: I don't care where you go for the two, three or the four, everybody's here on the one."
