Broken is a Place fan Reviews
When does a Rock song become an art song. Only when we have
an artist who lays his truth on the table. These words sum up with succinct and
sharp human observations,the way to recovery. on top of that ,it has a good melody and strong accompaniment. It deserves the widest of possible audiences.
Ricky is a Byrd from heaven!
I woke up today and came back to this song and have been playing it over and over and sharing it with people who so need to hear this. Thank you.
Simply beautiful, simply amazing…
Song…amazing !!

Some days my cup runneth over with all that is being revealed to me – and this is the one for today. Thanks, RIcky.

What they did which was truly unique in this day and age was they enhanced one another’s talents, interacted on stage and challenged each other to push further with each song. It is rare to have talent of this caliber on stage at the same time, but the most astonishing part was their enthusiasm and cooperation. First of all, not only were they exceptionally talented, but they also dressed for a professional show and not just some gig in the Keys.
2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominee Ricky Byrd, of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, was as gifted as ever with great vocals and guitar. Each time I have seen Ricky Byrd, he has been better than the time before. Ricky Byrd, then introduced Christine Ohlman, longtime lead singer for the Saturday Night Live Band. The Beehive Queen herself, sang in her soulful voice and got down and dirty singing the blues. I was truly impressed.
Richie SupaRichy Supa, singer and songwriter from Aerosmith, demonstrated his extraordinary guitar skills and his deep heart felt voice brought it home as he always does.
The two drummers, Liberty DeVitto and Woody Geissman, were tight, completely synchronized and didn’t miss a beat.
The horn players, Chris Anderson and Neal Pawley from Asbury Jukes, enjoyed themselves immensely as they too moved in tandem and remained tight with every note that they played throughout the show.
Woody GeissmanKeyboard player, Jeff Kazee from Southside Johnny and Bon Jovi, was a wonderful surprise. He is a multi-faceted talent who has a voice that knocked everyone’s socks off with his rendition of Van Morrison’s Domino.
The one thing which was great to know is that this band is also doing gigs under the name NYC Hit Squad since 2003, with the exception of Richie Supa and Woody Geissman. Both are big supporters of Rockers In Recovery Network, as is the NYC Hit Squad.
I plan on attending, as you should too, any events that the NYC HIT SQUAD AKA ”Rockers In Recovery Super Group” with their special guest lineups has in the future.
