Rick Rosas
Rick "
Rick the Bass Player"
Rosas (September 10, 1949 – November 6, 2014) was an American musician, and one of the most sought after studio
session musicians in Los Angeles. Though largely known for his long collaboration with
Neil Young, throughout his career he also played with
Joe Walsh,
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young,
Jerry Lee Lewis,
Johnny Rivers,
Ron Wood,
Etta James, and the short-lived reunion of the
Buffalo Springfield, among others. He performed as a bass player with The Flash in
Jonathan Demme's 2015 film ''
Ricki and The Flash.'' The band was composed of guitarist
Rick Springfield, drummer
Joe Vitale, and keyboardist
Bernie Worrell, backing up
Meryl Streep, as "Ricki", on vocals and guitar.
In 2014, Rosas joined Neil Young and
Crazy Horse on their European tour, following
Billy Talbot's inability to tour due to a stroke. This makes Rosas the only bassist to have played with three of Young's major bands,
Buffalo Springfield,
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Crazy Horse.
