Crazy Horse Bassist Suffers Stroke

Word from the Crazy Horse camp is that Talbot is expected to make a full recovery.  But unexpected convalescence and pre-announced tour plans don’t always mesh, meaning that Talbot will spend the next couple of months resting while veteran bassist Rick Rosas covers for him.  Rosas played on Buffalo Springfield’s 2011 reunion tour and has worked with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

The switcheroo will not affect Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s touring schedule.  Here’s the routing:
