Album Notes

Rick Trice has written over 200 songs spanning the past 40 years; an exercise that may have originally begun as "therapy," encompassing themes of joy and disappointment, love and frustrations, victories and defeats. But what originated as private musings grew into the realization that others seemed to want to hear the songs, because they seemed to speak to some common experiences within us all. After all, isn't that what music does the best? Rick's style is founded on syncopated acoustic and electric guitars. Add to this various percussion instruments, and layer it all into seemingly simple sandwich of chord structures, melodies and harmonies, and you find yourself listening to very accessible alternative country rock stylings which allows you to dwell a little longer with the lyrics, coaxing you to listen again and again to fully appreciate the texture of the words. (In plain English: TAKE TIME TO ENJOY THIS ALBUM!)
