MERCHANDISE
NEW RELEASE!
At the Corner of Jekyll and Hyde
I say I wrote these songs and I did, though they be more wrought than written, over the span of almost fifty years. Some are old as then, some new as now, and some part both. They’re not all about me but they are about us. I recorded them at my home in Spring Valley, Ohio, off and on from 2009 to 2019. This is also where the songs were mostly written, although, it must be said that sitting in the driver’s seat of one band vehicle or another, zoning out and missing exits, was a significant part of the process.
Just Rick and his old Gibson J-50 playing and singing a collection of heartfelt and soul-stirring songs, written over the course of more than forty years.
At the Corner of Jekyll and Hyde, Is There No Unbroken Heart?, A Game of Chance, We All Belong to God, Marilyn Monroe Blues, Moon Over Venus, If Only I Knew Then, Stuff Like That, Invisible People, Something Blue, Summers Without End, Listen to that Weeping Willow, Why Do I Cry?

Carry it on… a film by Sharon Leahy
A Dance for Camera created, performed and shot on site at the Wernette Farm outside of Remus, Michigan, home to the Wheatland Music Festival for the past 40 years, the film focuses on the sacred power and potential of place and our relationship to it. Moving through, with and around open fields, a pine grove and an old stage, the cast of dancers and musicians explores humankind’s relationship to the environment and our universal need to gather.

With seventeen tracks of traditional and original music played in both the clawhammer and finger-styles on several different kinds of banjos, lovers of the five-string banjo are in for a real sonic treat.
Rick is a wonderful writer of songs and tunes… and boy, can he play the banjo! His love for the old sources shines throughout… there’s not a clunker in all 17 of the songs and tunes… he has put forth some very cool arrangements and ideas in this fine CD.
