Rick's
CD "Rattlesnake Shake," is available for orders
now. This CD is in part different from the European Hypertension
Music record, containing some different songs and alternate
versions which are found on the import.
"Rattlesnake Shake" showcases 8 Vito originals
plus inspired new versions of both the title track written
by Peter Green, and a soulful instrumental take on Sam Cooke's,
"A Change Is Gonna Come." Featuring Rick's live
touring band, the Lucky Devils (Charlie Harrison, bass and
Rick Reed, drums), this recording was done in a more stripped-down,
edgy, slide guitar style which suits this bluesy collection
of songs perfectly. See" Available CD's" page
for more details.
DVD AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON.COM and at the rickvito.com
merchandise
page.
The
new live
DVD, "RICK VITO IN CONCERT" is now available in
the US through www.amazon.com, www.bestbuys.com, and other
fine internet media sites. The concert was fimed in Germany
on Rick's "LUCKY DEVILS" tour back in 2001 for
the long-running TV concert show "OHNE FILTER."
It features 12 songs from his three HYPERTENSION MUSIC cds
performed live with the original Lucky Devils, Tommy Kay,
Jim DeJulio, and Paul Eckman. One song from this DVD also
appears on a second, “GUITAR HEROES,” along
with some of Rick's guitar heroes like Albert Collins and
Gatemouth Brown! An autographed copy of the DVD is available
on the merchandise
page.
