Rick Andrews

Rick Andrews is a renowned award winning RiffJunkie, guitarist and songwriter who lives on a planet known as RiffWorld.com in a town called Rome, NY. Rick was cool enough to lend his experience with the software and the community it supports to review one of the sweetest software packages available today, Riffworks Standard by Sonoma Wireworks. Listen to AMG and Rick Andrews’s conversation about why Riffworks is so sweet and please enjoy the Christmas song (Junkies Version of Christmas Medley 2009) below the interview. It was originally recorded by Andrews and then embellished by his fellow RiffJunkies.

Hailing from Rome, New York Rick Andrews is anything but and ordinary run of the mill guitar slinger. His style weaves intimately in-between Symphonic Hard Rock and Prog Metal. With over 200 songs in the vault just waiting to be heard Rick releases his self titled debut featuring 12 songs that will take you on the ride of your life.

Whether you are into the Majestic vibe of "The Love of Yahweh" or the Trippy vibe groove of "Sleep Walk" (with special guest MickeyMix and BluesyDude) both from RiffWorld, you'll find it here on this album! Or, maybe you’re into the dreamy "Wake Up" featuring special guest Les Beasley on Bass.

If your looking for a story with some rough vocals you might like "Waited so Long to Get You" Did I hear someone say: What about Acoustic rock? Check out Mountain Mist! So, if your looking for an instrumental journey with one shabby vocal track then this Disc is the one you’ve been waiting for.

All arrangements Rick Andrews except “Waited So Long” arranged Rick Andrews & JJ Gator. All drums and percussion programming by Sonoma Wire Works. Mixed and Mastered at Gator Studios. Management and Artwork by Charlie Cook.
