Rick Springfield, Blues Man?!
Yes.
For all the Noah Drakey/Jessie's Girlian/Mission Magic telegenic actory stuff, Rick is, above all things, a musician. He's also good friends with Tim Pierce who is all over this thing, showing why he's one of the best guitarists of the modern era.
But it's not just Tim. It's Jorge Palacios. And so many others. AND Rick, who solos here with the best of them. Check him out on the title track.
This was one of my favorite discoveries of the past few years because it's hard to break through the Taylor Swift and Pop noise when you are a 68 year old who is only known for those TV shots and pop tunes of the 80s.
