Holy Moly! I am sitting here at the computer drinking in the free flowing sound of Rick Jamison’s guitar. What a wonderful treat! I always knew this guy was a great guitar player, but this is just not fair! Where the %$#@ does he get off producing such incredible music?

On his debut CD “Open Spaces” Rick has captured the very soul of bluegrass and acoustic music. I have been listening to and performing this genre’ since the mid 60’s, and I have seldom heard this kind of clarity and artistic excellence. Rick’s freedom and inner joy exudes through his instrument and voice on the same caliber of the great Tony Rice!

The “Open Spaces” CD features performances from mandolin player/vocalist Phil Cornish, fiddle player Megan Lynch and three members of the musical Ickes family: Elida Ickes on Bass, Pat Ickes on banjo and multiple IBMA Dobro player of the year, Rob Ickes. Talk about stacking the deck! Good Lord! How can you go wrong pickin’ with people with chops like that?

Included on the CD are four vocal tracks and eight instrumentals that offer tremendous variety in tempo, mood and style. The second track – “Where Peaceful Waters Flow” pays tribute to the seafaring tragedy that was the subject of "A perfect Storm". This is an original by Rick that I had the pleasure of hearing him do one evening a few years ago, while sitting in front of my camper at the Grass Valley Father’s Day Festival. It was great then, and its even better now.

Rick Jamison has built a low-key reputation over the years as an accomplished guitar player with a fast, clean flat-picking style. What an understatement that is! Support your local California Bluegrass Musicians! Click on the website link above and get a copy of “Open Spaces” for yourself now! I’ll bet he would not be insulted if you waived a few bucks under his nose at Grass Valley this year either! Ha!
