Rick's back in town..I wished I could say more but there is too much to say about Rick's talent. I'm ashamed to have sent my hcoa cd to him..he puts me to shame. Rick is RED HOT.

Loni, if you'd like a copy of my CD just send me an email rick@rickalexander.com with your address. I'd be happy to send you a copy.

If I were younger and able,I would get this kid on the Letterman show,he would WOW em
Paul Schaffer would as he says "I dig this cat man" Rick Alexander is going to make it if he plays his cards right and gets a good promoter..whats that steel players name that has done some of those major network shows? well,,he's got some serious competition here
RR.sound familiar??
Good luck buddy..my predictions sometimes do come true.

My check is on the way. You should have it by Wednesday or Thursday. (no mail today)

I can't wait to hear the rest of this CD>

Just listened to "The Real Deal", Plenty To Go Around" & My Days Are Numbered". And this is just the appertizer,....you can't help but want to hear more of this unique sound!! You can easily tell music runs in Rick Alexander's veins.

"He does it all. Singing,,playing,,the whole nine (9) yards and then some." Right on point, Jody!

I know Rick will continue to stretch and dig deep...Your right there, Man, you are right there!! And from what I just heard, all the pats on the back above, are well deserved....

The passion's there, Rick, keep driving and don't look back... BTW, let me know how to get a copy of your CD...TX

Did I like every song? no
Have I ever bought a CD that I did? no

Some may say that they don't hear much steel guitar in it but if Rick wanted more he certainly has the chops.

Music is a blend of different insturments. I personally get tired of too much of anything.

There is much more to come through the fingers of this guy. As a songwriter I think he is very talented. I would be honored to set with him anyday and learn just what he had forgotten about music.

I haven't heard the CD but of all the clips on Rick's website, all the solos sound exactly like a regular 6-string guitar to me. Guess either I'm getting to where I can't tell the difference or Rick is the best I've ever heard at making a lapsteel sound just like a Gibson ES-335. Jim...Rick is using all his talent not in particular a steel guitar to be specific..he has a multitude of talent with his straight guitar ability which is great and his singing and choice of original material is what makes Ricks cd different and enjoyable.
I dont think hearing anything but steel guitar is of importance here,,we are listening to a cd that is different and has all the ear marks of being something different than the run of the mill cd's out there today. Rick exhibits a multitude of talent and ability to put a song over.

I dont know what your taste is,,,but to my ears this is one of the best cd's to come along in a long time..Harry Connick,,John Pizzerelli are a few others I can think of.
Rick is in that group of enetertainers.
If your looking for straight steel there are hundreds out there to choose from and they are all fine,,but Rick Alexander is different and I myself enjoy and admire his talent. If you have any doubt dont buy the cd. But there are many that will agree with me, that this kid has it and with the proper
exposure,you will hear from Rick Alexander not only on this Forum but he is well on his
way to prove that country or western or blues or soft rock can be combined and thats what this is all about.

Thanks and besides that he plays a FENDER PS Rick can front a group any day anywhere and get attention from any audience be it pop,country,rock,metal, how many have this talent.. RR is a popular figure these days and I myself enjoy his talent, I woulnd't classify him as a steel guitarist as we are accustomed to..nevertheless RR is making inroads with his sound and talent...ditto is Rick Alexander.This Forum can use versatility and new blood..we are getting old and crochety dont you agree. There is room for everyone,,especially one with the talent we have in Rick..Thanks and Goodnight Mrs.Calabash wherever you are.

Thanks Jim
