tough room… this world
Recorded live one rainy night in 1999 at The Bitter End, a little club in NYC with a lot of history!
Done on 4 track so basically what we played is what you get.
No fixin’ and little mixin’.

Ricky proves himself as a brilliant guitarist, singer, songwriter
author: Phyllis Hollman
About a week ago I had the priveledge of catching Ricky Byrd’s gig at the Bitter End in NYC.I spoke with him briefly before the show and told him I admired him as lead guitarist for Joan Jett.He told me that his solo show that evening would be quite different from his work with Joan Jett and he was right but it proved to be just as wonderful.It was after his performance that I purchased this cd.This cd is wonderful.Ricky shows that he is a master of the guitar, his lyrics are intelligent and sharp and he delivers his heartfelt songs with feeling and in a soulful manner.There are several songs that really rock such as,”I don’t wanna love you”,”Devil deserves a popsong”,Spooky old Alice”.There are some ballads that are really moving such as,”Wide Open”,and my personal favorite,”It’s raining”, which has a really beautiful melody and lyrics that are so full of imagery that I felt that I was actually in NYC on a rainy night,feeling the lonliness of the abandonment of a lover.Each song is different,you don’t get the feeling that each song sounds the same on this disc.I highly recommend this cd.I’m proud to have it part of my vast collection.And I look forward to more work from this great artist.
