Ricochet Then & Now (CD)

(Encore Music Group) 16 tracks, digisleeve.

ACM Award-winning '90s country vocal group Ricochet will mark the 30th anniversary of their 1993 formation with the release of their first album in over a decade, The Hits and More.... Then & Now. The 16 tracks, produced by Robert Wright, Justin Spears, Pat McMakin and Eric Silver, reflect Ricochet's past success with new interpretations of their classic hits and include 8 new songs that show the group has no plans to stop anytime soon. Despite the change in band members over the years, Ricochet still have their signature harmonic vocal sound and are considered one of the hardest working bands in the business. Original lead singer Heath Wright has maintained the group's legacy and fan base for nearly two decades with an extensive touring schedule. Current band members are Chris Hempfling (vocals, drums), Rick Toops (vocals, keys), Bruce Bennett (vocals, bass) and Larry Hight (vocals, rhythm/lead guitar, steel, dobro and saxophone). "This is an exciting time for Ricochet. The '90s era of country music is hotter than ever, and people are finding our music faster than ever. So it's exciting to be releasing our hits and new music for the first time in over 20 years," says Heath Wright. "I hope everyone enjoys listening to these new recordings as much as we enjoyed recording them. We've given our old hits a new lease on life and then recorded some long overdue new material for the fans. In my opinion, it's the best of RICOCHET.... Then and Now!"
