Live on Breeze Hill was The Band bassist Rick Danko's third solo album, and the last released before his death in December 1999. It was credited to the "Rick Danko Band": Rick Danko, Garth Hudson & Aaron Hurwitz. Focusing on an intimate show with Danko fronting a nine-piece group featuring three fellow members of the Band as well as auxiliary member Aaron Hurwitz, the album mostly features live versions of songs from the glory days of the Band, with only "Crazy Mama" (a late-period Band track), "Blaze of Glory" (a track Danko recorded with Danko/Fjeld/Andersen) and "Next Time You See Me" (featuring Hurwitz on lead vocal) coming from Danko's post-Band era.

"Sip the Wine", issued on Danko's 1977 debut, opens the album, coming not from the concert which makes up the rest of the album, but rather a rerecording from the studio.

Issued jointly by Woodstock Records and Breeze Hill Records, it was later made available as part of a two-disc set from Japan's Dreamsville Records, paired with Danko's posthumous Times Like These, featuring two additional tracks, an otherwise unavailable studio version of "Blind Willie McTell" and a radio edit of the opening "Sip the Wine".
