The latest TROUTBAND album, "Monkey's Wedding" is a return to the basics of good record production; solid songwriting, lots of guitar, and judicious experimentation with sounds and effects.
The title track "Monkey's Wedding" showcases the symbiosis of Rick Richter, James Prosek & Joe Dochtermann - solid melodies, succinct arranging, subtle moog and keyboard textures, jangly guitars, and feverish background effects that lead the listener about the soundscape. The folk/blues track "It ain't me" presents Rick's honest vocal delivery, a foot-stomping groove, greasy guitar and dobro licks.
