Every once in a while, I get a press release in my in-box I decide to share with my fellow baby boomers despite the subject involved having nothing to do with sci fi, thrillers, mysteries, espionage, show business, biographies or other book topics reviewed here.

Odds are, when you think of RICK (“Speak to the Sky,” “Jesse’s Girl,” Noah Drake in General Hospital, Ricki and the Flash) SPRINGFIELD, you ain’t thinking the blues. Well friends, the times they have a’changed.

On 26 January 2018, Springfield will release The Snake King, and the singer/songwriter/guitarist is serving up a surprising blues menu. According to a press release from Frontier Records:

The Snake King finds Rick travelling down a dusty dirt road to explore the blues side of his rock ‘n roll. All you have to do is check out two of the first couple cuts on the album, “In The Land Of The Blind” and “Little Demon” to get an understanding of the blues laden journey Rick had decided to allow us to join him on. And of the many delights on this album, Rick’s grossly underrated guitar playing really shines here, perhaps moreso than on any album in his storied catalog. As for the lyrics? Not what you’d expect either, but we’ll leave it up to the listener to decide what’s being relayed there.
