Question: Stages is an album by folk rock musician Eric Andersen, guest musicians from the 1973–73 sessions include Richard Clare "Rick" Danko, a Canadian musician, bassist, songwriter and singer, best known as a member of which group, on bass and background vocals?
Context: Jonas Fjeld (born Terje Lillegård Jensen; 24 September 1952 in Bodø, Norway) is a Norwegian singer, songwriter, and guitarist.  He is best known in the English-speaking world for two albums recorded by Danko/Fjeld/Andersen, a collaboration with Canadian Rick Danko of The Band and American singer-songwriter Eric Andersen.  Fjeld also recorded three albums with the American bluegrass group Chatham County Line. Stages is an album by folk rock musician Eric Andersen.  The album was recorded in late 1972 and early 1973, as the intended follow-up to Andersen's successful "Blue River" album, but before it could be released, the master tapes were somehow lost in the Columbia vaults.  It wasn't until 1990 that the tapes were discovered, at which time the album was finally released.  In addition to the original 1972–73 recordings, Andersen included three newly recorded songs.  Guest musicians from the 1973–73 sessions included Leon Russell on organ, piano and guitar, Rick Danko on bass and background vocals, and Garth Hudson on accordion, with Dan Fogelberg and Joan Baez supplying background vocals.  Shawn Colvin was a guest vocalist on the 1990 sessions. Ridin' on the Blinds was the second and final album by the folk-rock trio of Rick Danko, Jonas Fjeld and Eric Andersen.  Released in 1994, it was different from its predecessor in that its focus was rootsier, influenced more by the folk leanings of the group than their rock leanings. Richard Clare "Rick" Danko (December 29, 1943 – December 10, 1999) was a Canadian musician, bassist, songwriter and singer, best known as a member of The Band. Blue River is the 1972 album from folk rock musician Eric Andersen.  The album was recorded in Nashville.  Guest musician Joni Mitchell contributes vocals on the title track "Blue River".  The album was reissued in 1999 by Columbia Legacy with two extra tracks. Joe Lynn Turner (born Joseph Arthur Mark Linquito, August 2, 1951) is an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, and producer.  He is known for his work in the hard rock bands Rainbow and Deep Purple.  During his career, Turner fronted and played guitar with pop rock band Fandango in the late 1970s; and in the early 80s, he became a member of Rainbow, fronting the band and writing songs with guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore and bassist, and producer, Roger Glover.  After Rainbow had disbanded (the first time) in March 1984, he pursued a solo career, released one album, Rescue You, and then later did session work, singing background vocals for the likes of Billy Joel, Cher, and Michael Bolton.  On the advice of Bolton, Turner began recording jingles for radio and television.  Other songs he had composed or through collaboration with songwriters like Desmond Child and Jack Ponti were being recorded and released by international recording artists Jimmy Barnes, Lee Aaron, and Bonfire.  Turner had a short-lived association with neoclassical metal guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen and then Deep Purple.  From the mid-1990s, he resumed his solo career, releasing an additional nine studio and two live recordings.  Turner did other session work, appearing as lead vocalist on tribute albums and working on projects involving various musical groups including progressive rock band Mother's Army; Bulgarian hard rock band Brazen Abbot; funk rock duo Hughes Turner Project; and classic rock/ progressive rock band Rated X.  In 2006, Frontiers Records approached Turner to become involved with the AOR side project Sunstorm.  By 2016, four albums under the Sunstorm name had been released.  That same year, Turner released "The Sessions" via Cleopatra Records featuring a veritable who's who of classic rock royalty as guest musicians, before resuming his seemingly constant touring schedule back in Europe Danko/Fjeld/Andersen was the first of two albums featuring the multi-national folk trio of Rick Danko (Canada), Jonas Fjeld (Norway) and Eric Andersen (United States).  The album melds elements of folk, rock, country and blues. Eric Andersen (born February 14, 1943) is an American folk music singer-songwriter, who has written songs recorded by Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt, the Grateful Dead and many others.  Early in his career, in the 1960s, he was part of the Greenwich Village folk scene.  After two decades and sixteen albums of solo performance he became a member of the group Danko/Fjeld/Andersen.  Since the late 1990s, he has resumed his solo career.  Andersen is still recording and performing live in Europe, Japan and North America. Woodsmoke and Oranges is the debut album from folk rock/country rock musician Paul Siebel.  The album contains his tune "Louise" which was later recorded by Linda Ronstadt, Ian Matthews, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Andersen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Leo Kottke, and others. Bleecker & MacDougal, issued by Elektra in 1965, is the debut album from Fred Neil, a pioneer folk rock musician.  The recording, which unlike many folk albums at the time featured electric guitar backing, had a significant influence on the folk rock movement.  Guest musicians included Felix Pappalardi on bass, a young John Sebastian playing harmonica, and Pete Childs on dobro and electric guitar.
