Here is Rick’s second CD, following on from the success of his first. Rick’s got that knack of sounding just ‚right‘. He gathers around him a collection of musicians who understand exactly what he’s trying to achieve. His undoubted talent is not just limited to performance. He’s involved in his music from the very beginning, writing many of the songs, through the performance and production, mixing and even the mastering and marketing of the final records! This is obviously a man who believes in being in control of his music! However, for those of us who love authentic Rockin‘ music, there can be little doubt that he’s got the right idea, because his method of producing his music ensures that only those who are involved in this music are allowed to get their hands on it. How many projects like this have been spoilt by ‚engineers‘ and ‚producers‘ who have little knowledge of REAL Rock’n’Roll?
Rick also manages to get that ‚relaxed‘ rockin‘ feel that was best exemplified in the Fifties by the likes of Ricky Nelson. He’s obviously spent a lot of time listening to old records and is a man who is deeply in love with that style. Here is a lesson to all those who try to emulate those classic Fifties records. However, Rick doesn’t stop with getting the sound ‚right‘ – his songs are tuneful and skilfully crafted. As with the music, the songs are just ‚right‘, and this makes the whole CD ‚play‘ well.
However, it’s not just his own songs that he can handle. Listen to how he melds that old standard ‚Diamonds are a girl’s best friend‘ into a Rockabilly song. Magic!     In addition to all of this, Rick’s a great drummer. He can mix up a great ’shuffle‘ beat, or even that elusive beat that we old DJs referred to as ‚that limping beat‘, which is SO danceable in clubs. As with everything else on this CD, the drums sound just right. Gawd! They even sound like drums. None of yer ‚wet telephone book‘ here! Just how many records make you want to get up and dance AND sing along at the same time? Not many. This one does. Rick deserves all the success that his music career will undoubtedly bring him.
