“A mellow-smart James Taylor vibe with the poetic soul of a Southernized Bob Dylan.”
Critics have long hailed Ricky Fitzpatrick as "the next James Taylor", with a voice that's "as smooth as moonshine". But fans of artists like John Mayer, Shawn Mullins and even Bob Dylan, John Prine and Tom Waits are also falling in love with what some are calling the next great singer/songwriters to hit the scene. Myspace recently posted Ricky as one of the Top 40 Acoustic Artists and one of the Top 10 Folk artists in the US for the state of Georgia.
His new CD “Heartfelt” is a collection of both die-hard fan favorites and never-before released songs. “Infectiously singable songs that coolly straddle the fence between Folk and Country”. From the first track, Ricky’s just-right acoustic guitar and vivid lyrics paint a picture and draw you in, unfolding a collage of life’s greatest themes…love and loss, pain and joy, longing and peace. For fans of singer songwriters like James Taylor, Bob Dylan and Shawn Mullins, “heartfelt” is a must-have addition to their collections.

Ricky, hey great to hear from you as well! I see that you are from Georgia. I'm thinking about swinging down that way for a couple of shows. I think I'm playing Swallow in the Hollow sometime in the spring. Do you play at Eddie's Attic? Happy New Year!! Nicole
