New releases featuring Rick (2010 & 1977)

[OldTimer]

One brand new release with Rick in the credits, and one very old 'new' release..........

First, Maui guitar-designer/singer/songwriter Steve Grimes has a new CD called "Labor of Love" featuring Rick on a few tracks. (Rick also listed as co-producer).



...Steve enlists the services of some world class musicians: Pat Simmons of the Grammy Award winning Doobie Brothers, legendary jazz guitarist Larry Coryell, the late great harmonica player Norton Buffalo, national dobro champion Rob Ickes, Barry Flanagan of HAPA, Jon Cleary and Hutch Hutchinson, both of Bonnie Raitt’s band and Rick Vito of The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band.
