Influences
I started singing 12 verse murder ballads as party pieces for my parents at about the age of 4!!! & guess them old English/American folk songs have been a big influence. Influences include: Vocal Harmonies, Hedy West, Shirley Collins, New Lost City Ramblers. The Everly Brothers, Dolly Parton, Steve Earl, & lots of new alt country: Wilco, The Jayhawks,RYAN ADAMS, Iris Dement,The Be Good Tanyas & Jolie Holland.Ricky Lee Jones. alongiside Warren Zevon, The Men They Couldn't Hang, The Waterboys, The Clash, The Pogues, Nick Cave, the Richie era of the Manic Street Preachers & Radiohead. Love The Herbaliser, KRS 1. De La Soul, Public Enemy& funkdoobiest. Beverly Knight. I'm also up for some Bonnie Prince Billy & love Devandra Banheart.How much of this comes across in my music I dont know! The Sea (Stormy or calm) is another big influence. Presently, most played on my turntable is ANYTHING- by Rufus Wainwright. Traveling is an influence (India is my big passion).
Am also inspired by the writings of KARL MARX, JOHN PILGER, NOAM CHOMSKY & FREEDOM FIGHTERS WORLD WIDE.
Sounds Like
Have been told there's a little Be Good Tanyas vibe in my music (which isnt true but has pleased me very much) and also a touch of Dolly!

Voted single of the year in 2001 by readers of FUTURE MUSIC Magazine. I sang this tune live on LATER WITH JOOLS HOLLAND'. I've sang on some other club hits too.Presently, im mainly doing solo acoustic gigs...

"Queen Jane" sounds perfect to me the guitar is great, and so ar the harmonies. Are you sure it's just a rehearsal? I don't remember hearing the parts about the queen asking her women to save the baby before asking the king to do it.
Hey Naomi, Exceptional and outstanding stuff you won't hear everyday! Thanks so much much for your support...I appreciate it. Continued success to you in all your music endeavors. Keep on rockin' and kickin' out them tunes in Brighton! Peace, Rick.
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
