  • Description

    Tonight I'll Go Down Swingin' is a star-studded tribute to one of the lesser-known greats in the LA session scene: Don Heffington. Heffington worked in the 1970's and 80's as the drummer for Emmylou Harris and alt. country trailblazers Lone Justice before cutting sessions with greats like Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Dwight Yoakam and others. Many of the artists Don worked with pay loving tribute to him in diverse renditions of his original songs.

    Description

    Don Heffington was a musician's musician - Starting his professional career in the late 70s and early 80s as a part of Emmylou Harris' Hot Band and seminal alt-country pioneers Lone Justice, Heffington went on to a session career that included work with Bob Dylan, Dwight Yoakam, The Jayhawks, Dave Alvin, The Wallflowers, and many, many more.

    Heffington was also a prolific songwriter, and here, his colleagues and friends pay loving tribute to those songs in a benefit for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund (Heffington passed away in 2021 from Leukemia). Artists such as Jackson Browne, Fiona Apple, Buddy Miller, Dave Alvin, Watkins Family Hour, Peter Case, and others interpret Don's quirky songs. In the words of Jackson Browne: "I think of (Don) as inhabiting the same Los Angeles as Warren Zevon, Lowell George and Tom Waits."
