Rick is also an oil painter whose work ranges from plein air landscapes to colorful studio works, samples of which can be viewed at www.rjamison.com. In addition to his passion for music and art, Rick is employed as a writer and intranet editor at a global software company based in Silicon Valley.
"The
Magic Hour is a killer collection of original material. Rick Jamison's
writing is on the highest of levels -- taut, tight, intelligent, poetic,
imaginative, distinctive, memorable -- and about a hundred other adjectives. Plus, unlike many songwriters, he has a knack for coming up with a melody that does his fabulous lyrics justice (not to mention his fine arrangements).
The Magic Hour offers superlative music that really pushes the
songwriting bar. God knows we need more tunesmiths of Rick's ilk."

"As a songwriter, writer, guitarist and oil-paint artist, Rick Jamison is
creating a unique place for himself in bluegrass circles and beyond. It's
his tremendous talent with words, melodies, as well as his virtuosity
as a guitar player, that show what a tremendous artist Rick Jamison is,
and why his songs should reach a wider audience."
Chris Stuart

"The
Magic Hour is indeed one whole hour of exciting musical entertainment
created by one of the most prolific composers and musicians currently
active in bluegrass music."

"Rick
Jamison... remember that name. You'll need it to answer what will soon become
the oft-asked question, 'Who wrote that song?' Rick is writing some of the finest
bluegrass music out there today. Couple that with his masterful guitar playing
and you begin to enter into a wonderfully fresh bluegrass experience."

"Rick
Jamison was a recent guest on Pig in a Pen introducing his new
CD, The Magic Hour, along with some incredible live solos on guitar
and vocals. The response from listeners was as laudatory and intense as
any I've received in over 30 years of broadcasting. You'll be hearing
a lot more from this guy -- guaranteed!!"
