And, view photos of us at the 2008 Grammy Awards here! ************************************************************ Downloads now available through iTunes!* Album Review: Old School (Hits of the 60's & 70's) "If you want to take a trip down memory lane with an extremely talented guy, this disc is for you. The musicianship is impeccable, the singing is extremely good, the song list is quite eclectic, and the arrangements are just as you remember them. Call it a hunch, but I have a funny feeling this guy is absolutely electric live. I would definitely not pass up a chance to catch his show. Overall, a very enjoyable disc." Rick Marchetti, The Muse's Muse * Album Review: Old School (Hits of the 60's & 70's) "Veteran melody maker Rick Devin again blesses the airwaves and speakers all around the globe with his new CD, "Old School-Hits of the 60s & 70s". But, these songs are more than just remakes of popular classics. This is music that is sung with authority and a rootsy honesty straight from his soul, a trait that you cannot only hear with each note, but can actually feel." Robert G. Benson, GEMM, Global Marketplace * Album Review: Old School (Hits of the 60's & 70's) "...Rick Devin ain't bad at this schtick... Devin has talent, no two ways about it, [he] chose a stream of good tunes, playing a multitude of instruments on each track and quite well... This CD is for those who love the songs - and there's plenty of reason...." Mark S.
