Aint Giving up on Love
“Aint gonna give up on Love” is the new blues rock song recorded on the 28th December 2013.Ive been dying to record this one with Mike ever since Ive been performing it live on the electroacoustic at my local gig venues The Tower Of Song in Cotteridge and The Roadhouse in Stirchley.This number has acoustic guitar,les paul electric solo,bass guitar,drums and yours truly on vocals too.I love it…it rocks.Its a Ritchie Classic.” – Ritchie
“This song has come together really easily probably because Ritchie had chance to play it out a few times live. Some lovely moments in this track, my favourite being the end ad-libbed vocal section!” – Mr.Secret
Return to the Saddle
The Ritchie is back and is single and has just recorded a very cool new hard rock blues in the new flat in Kings Norton with Mr Secret.
“This was written on acoustic guitar and the acoustic blues riffs were recorded first before I put down the bass and electric guitar and finally double tracked the vocal.The Les Paul was utilised as usual for its big fat overdriven blues tone that has a rock bite to it.I hope everyone digs this tune…its got a swagger and a strut to it.It represents the new me.The Ritchie that rocks n rolls with a more bluesy vibe to it”.
