Rick Alexander WOW

Post by Jody Carver »

I recieved a copy of Ricks cd today and If I were able to do justice to compliment him I would,but his music is unbelievable. He does it all. Singing,,playing,,the whole nine (9) yards and then some. Country and yet up to date and original..move over Robert Randolph

Rick's back in town..I wished I could say more but there is too much to say about Rick's talent. I'm ashamed to have sent my hcoa cd to him..he puts me to shame. Rick is RED HOT.

Great Job Rick. Image Image

I can't believe that I'm reading this. That's some pretty high praise. Thank you Jody with all my heart. I don't buy the part about putting you to shame though - not in this lifetime buddy. You just lifted my spirits about 8 miles high . .

Loni, if you'd like a copy of my CD just send me an email rick@rickalexander.com with your address. I'd be happy Image to send you a copy.

Mark my words,this kid is going places..what place? I dont know I'll find out. Image
Only kidding folks. This kid has what it takes,he's outstanding as a performer and his
material is different. You cant lose by getting a hold of his cd.

If I were younger and able,I would get this kid on the Letterman show,he would WOW em
Paul Schaffer would as he says "I dig this cat man" Rick Alexander is going to make it if he plays his cards right and gets a good promoter..whats that steel players name that has done some of those major network shows? well,,he's got some serious competition here
RR.sound familiar??
Good luck buddy..my predictions sometimes do come true. Image<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jody Carver on 12 January 2005 at 04:27 PM.]</p></FONT>

Well Rick, I downloaded the song last night and my wife and I listened to it four times.
She LOVED IT! AND SO DID I. Patti has a pretty good ear for talent and always seems to know when someone is going to get a hit song. She said if Rick could get that played on the radio it would be a hit!

My check is on the way. You should have it by Wednesday or Thursday. (no mail today)

I can't wait to hear the rest of this CD>

YOU DA' MAN!!!!!

HOT,HOT,HOT

Just listened to "The Real Deal", Plenty To Go Around" & My Days Are Numbered". And this is just the appertizer,....you can't help but want to hear more of this unique sound!! You can easily tell music runs in Rick Alexander's veins.

"He does it all. Singing,,playing,,the whole nine (9) yards and then some." Right on point, Jody!

I know Rick will continue to stretch and dig deep...Your right there, Man, you are right there!! And from what I just heard, all the pats on the back above, are well deserved....

The passion's there, Rick, keep driving and don't look back... Image BTW, let me know how to get a copy of your CD...TX
rgds,
Ron

Hot Hot Hot? You aint heard nuttin yet. This kid can play and better yet he's a performer
with class....next stop "TODAY SHOW" and dont think with the right promoter its not possible...I was supposed to debut my unfinished book being interviewed by Matt Lauer and Katy Couric...but the promoter open his mouth too soon. Then there's always the tonight show with Kevin Eubanks who I know. Image

Just received Rick's new CD and it is great!!!! Not only is he a great musician and singer, he wrote all of these songs also. A lot of the songs remind me of the "fifty's" style which I love.
Keep up the good work Rick and hope you make it big.

I am pleased to read your comments regarding Rick's cd. I knew when I first heard it,it had that little something different that makes it unique.

I take a small amount of pride in knowing that those of you who have heard Rick took my word for his talent. I wish him good luck.And thanks to you for giving Rick the opportuninty to show his expertise.

I wouldnt steer you wrong.If Rick plays his cards right and gets a promotor,he will suprise himself. He has what takes to acheive success he never dreamed of.

Thanks
