Oz Hardwick - R2 Rock 'n' Reel May/June 2010

'Top-notch songwriting and a masterfully understated performance.'
Oz Hardwick R2 Rock 'n' Reel Jan/Feb 2013

'Musical energy throughout except when Ford takes to his acoustic guitar and harmonica alone for those stripped-back numbers reminiscent of early Dylan.'
Mathew Boulton. Americana UK Nov 2012.

'Rick records marvelous ballsy albums with catchy melodies, hooks and riffs galore. ‘Still’ is full of colourful tales of love and loss, nature and wilderness, and everything inbetween. It’s great homegrown folk music as it should be. A genuinely lovely album and well worth a listen.'
