5.0 out of 5 stars
Great debut from rocking country group, May 26, 2004
Once upon a time, country music was almost exclusively the preserve of the solo singer but by the nineties there were a lot of groups, some of which only had fleeting success. Ricochet started brightly with this excellent album but two subsequent albums failed to consolidate their success. In May 2004 they released a live album on an independent label. The first five of the ten songs here are included on that live album, but here you get the original versions.For this album at least, the group comprised Heath Wright (lead vocals, lead guitars, fiddle), Eddie Kilgallon (keyboards, vocals, acoustic guitar, sax), Jr. Bryant (fiddle, vocals, mandolin, acoustic guitar), Jeff Bryant (drums, vocals), Teddy Carr (dobro, lap steel) and Greg Cook (bass, vocals). Daddy's money, a great rocking song about a woman who has everything, opens the album and is the best track here. Although nothing else quite matches it, there are some other fine rockers and some great ballads too. The overall feel of the album is upbeat. If you like country groups such as Exile, Sawyer Brown and Diamond Rio, you might give this album a listen.
