CD "RATTLESNAKE SHAKE" AVAILABLE NOW!

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.
