We're excited to be heading to Australia and New Zealand soon to play dates with Bonnie Raitt and Wilco. Also, the summer festival season is looking strong, as well as upcoming opening dates that can't be announced yet. Keep checking in periodically for the latest. Hope to see you soon!
Willie G. Moseley wrote this story about Rick for the latest VG magazine. Also thanks to Aigars Lapsa for the photo (sorry, couldn't figure out how to spin it upright) from Cazorla, Spain that was taken when RHB played in a bullring at 3 am, under full moon, for a crowd of rabid Spaniards. No wonder the whole town seemed to be asleep all afternoon. Love Spain.
Not sure how this happened, but Cruel Sunrise is the # 1 CD on BB King's Bluesville (Sirius/XM radio)! Thanks to Bill Wax for spinning the record so enthusiastically.
