Music videos that feature Rics

Geez, what a voice! And what is that bass player, like 15 years old???

That's the great Tony Hicks! He's the guitarist, they must've been between bassists when the video was shot.

 Just like Macca - never really aged, good Mancunian genes there. He was pivotal for The Hollies as a multi-instrumentalist, musical director, occasional lead vocalist, songwriter etc ...



The real bassist played Rics too.

You bet! That video was from 1975, so despite his young-looking face, he must have been at least 30. He was one of the early members of the Hollies.

Yup he's 70 now.

If anybody is interested, I have He Ain't Heavy on 7" (don't recall the B Side off the top of my head).  It's in my getting rid of pile; nobody wants it.  If you wanna pay the shipping it's yours (might as well, for the cost, take a few more 7s - PM for a list).

Los Jaivas - águila sideral

Chilean avant-dub-prog-folk music. 

[uwe]

That's kind of nice in its sphericness.

[Jeff Scott]

Excellent  music!  That Rick sound great with the flats on it.  I wonder if that recording was actually done on that Telefunken?

[Dave W]

Texas country star Justin Trevino. Not the best video, but after a quick search it's the only one I see with his Rick. He actually plays it quite a lot, at his own gigs or backing others.

Not many Rics in country music... image problem?

[Highlander]

Tradition problem...

[Dave W]

I doubt it's an image problem. You'll see a wide variety at regional and local shows. Not 7-string buckeye burl top boutique basses, and there are still plenty of Fenders, but I've seen everything from Peaveys and Arias to a Rick Turner.

Nashville is another matter. That's a studio town every bit as much as Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s, with fairly rigid studio attitudes.

My favorite song of 1992, from an almost forgotten Boston-based band

Blackfoot Sue - Standing in the Road. Worth it to see a priceless RM1999 getting beaten with drum sticks.

Bump for musical greatness!
