| Rick Holmstrom's Cruel Sunrise Set For Worldwide Release August 28 M.C. Records is proud to announce that the wait is over! After five long years, singer, songwriter and right-on guitarist Rick Holmstrom's Cruel Sunrise will be released world-wide on August 28. Cruel Sunrise, which features Gosepl legend Mavis Staples on two tracks, is a musical high-water mark for Rick Holmstrom. After years in the backing band - currently as Mavis' bandleader - Holstrom has developed a distinct voice of his own that shows through in his soulful phrasing and rich tone as both a guitarist and vocalist. Add to that a refreshing confidence that Holmstrom brings to his songwriting and you've got Rick's finest and most complete solo recording to date. Rick is joined by long-time band-mates Jeff Turmes and Stephen Hodges guaranteeing that Cruel Sunrise has a tight sound that puts you in the groove and keeps you rockin' from the first note to the last. No doubt both blues aficionados and rock music fans will enjoy Cruel Sunrise, a record that honors Rick Holmstrom's ongoing reign as a statesman of the blues while pointing to his future as a songwriter to be reckoned with. The recording will also be available as a limited "Deluxe Edition" which features a second disc of all instrumentals - Rick's unique take on classic songs including "You Send Me, " "Folsom Prison Blues, " and "I'll Take You There." write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Jazz News :: home page |
