Sessions volume 1 is in the artist's own words: "Music recorded live-in-studio presented in its original form without excessive editing, intended to capture the energy, integrity and honesty of my live show. It's about the fun and utter joy of playing."
Product Description
Previously, Sessions Volume 1 was only available to fans attending Rick's concerts. Sessions Volume 1 is the first of a series of releases where the emphasis is on fun and spontaneity, elements sometimes missing in the studio culture but in no short supply on the performing stage. This is recorded in mostly one take with little or no editing or overdubs as evidenced by the "notes of character" here and there. The repertoire is drawn from Rick's greatest hits including "Grazing in the Grass" from the hit cd Shake it Up, and fan favorites "Notorious," "Nightwalk" and "Coolsville." Certainly an unexpected highlight is Rick's emotional vocal on "Love Will Find a Way."
