Photos from the making of Rick's latest CD, "OLD SCHOOL - Hits of the 60s & 70s" - featuring Rick Devin, Chet McCracken, Chris Pinnick, Fernada Ricart, Manoel Pires, Carlos Alcantarino and Ricardo Garcia.

*************************

I grew up in the 60's & 70's playing folk/pop/rock songs of that time period. Some of my influences include: CSNY, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. My first 'on stage' band performance was in May of 1972, singing 'House Of The Rising Sun' from The Animals.

Since then, I have performed thousands of live shows, all across North America, from intimate, solo campfire shows to large concerts with my band. I have also performed alongside, sharing the stage, with Michael Martin Murphey, The Dixie Chicks, Joe Cocker, Bill Miller, Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul & Mary) and Jim Messina (Loggins & Messina) to name a few. I have shared events with Dan Fogelberg, Willie Nelson, America, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap, Alan Jackson and dozens more.

* Album Review: Old School (Hits of the 60's & 70's) "If you want to take a trip down memory lane with an extremely talented guy, this disc is for you. The musicianship is impeccable, the singing is extremely good, the song list is quite eclectic, and the arrangements are just as you remember them. Call it a hunch, but I have a funny feeling this guy is absolutely electric live. I would definitely not pass up a chance to catch his show. Overall, a very enjoyable disc." Rick Marchetti, The Muse's Muse

* Album Review: Old School (Hits of the 60's & 70's) "Veteran melody maker Rick Devin again blesses the airwaves and speakers all around the globe with his new CD, "Old School-Hits of the 60s & 70s". But, these songs are more than just remakes of popular classics. This is music that is sung with authority and a rootsy honesty straight from his soul, a trait that you cannot only hear with each note, but can actually feel." Robert G. Benson, GEMM, Global Marketplace

* Album Review: Old School (Hits of the 60's & 70's) "...Rick Devin ain't bad at this schtick... Devin has talent, no two ways about it, [he] chose a stream of good tunes, playing a multitude of instruments on each track and quite well... This CD is for those who love the songs - and there's plenty of reason...." Mark S. Tucker - Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange

* Album Review: Old School (Hits of the 60's & 70's) “I was transported back to my High School Days, listening to Rick Devin’s 'Old School' CD… First Loves, First Dances, First Broken Heart… I am impressed by the versatility and sincerity of his music." Barb Richhart, KSJD Radio, Mancos, CO, USA

Dear Cousin:

At this absolutely insane time in my life I needed to take a “timeout” and visit you via your site. Thank you for your beautiful music! As I have told you in the past “Old School” has so much meaning to me as it transports me back to times, places, and people that were so very special and important in my life. I sincerely hope that you are considering producing “Old School – Part II” as I am confident that it will go Gold!

Hugs,
m : )

I just wanted to let you know you do a fantastic rendition
of some of my favorites. The music of the 70s is all I listen to. I love how you keep the original (overall) sound yet still
give the songs your own feel!--truely awesome!
I was looking for a new song and decided to check yours',
I now will be looking for your work in the stores.
Keep play'n man,I don't want the most amazing music to ever
die and,like I said,you do it with perfect style!
Thank You
Denis
