Richie & Rosie Release Sophomore Album Nowhere In Time

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- November 17, 2017 -- Last Friday, Richie & Rosie, the power duo known for their unique harmonies and unmatched talent, released their second full-length record, Nowhere in Time. The release was welcomed with critical acclaim from publications like No Depression, who called the album “an invigorating mix of the traditional with the ethereal.” Folk Radio describes the record as, “well-balanced, with a mix of songs and tunes that give a very clear picture of who Richie and Rosie are and what they are about.” Vents Magazine premiered the video for the title track last Friday. Richie & Rosie are currently touring the East Coast.

After three years of touring and writing, the duo returned to the studio last December to record Nowhere in Time with producer Alex Perialas at Pyramid Sound Studios. The album highlights the incredibly-refined skill of both musicians -- and while the majority of the album is a simple combination of fiddle, banjo, and captivating melodies, the duo manages to pack an incredibly full sound. “At the beginning, we were thinking it might be a project with lots of other people involved, more of a big production. As we went through it, we realized that the magic lies within the duo. We have an intimacy of music and we feel the power of two people playing. That’s who we are,” said Rosie.

Nowhere in Time is preceded by the band’s first album, Tractor Beam, released in 2013. Before meeting at Saratoga Springs’ Flurry festival and ultimately collaborating, the two were established musicians in their own right. Rosie toured as a member of The Pearly Snaps and was touring with The Mammals before graduating high school. Richie, president of the famed GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance, performed around the world with bands like Bela Fleck, Pete Seeger, David Byrne, Billy Bragg & Wilco, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Joan Baez. His endless discography includes three Natalie Merchant records, multiple collaborations with Jim Lauderdale and Donna The Buffalo, and Carrie Rodriguez.

Nowhere in Time gives fans a look inside the band’s personal lives, with a variety of introspective lyrics. While some songs are more light-hearted, like “Honey Bee”, which Richie wrote to “lure” his girlfriend back to the East Coast, others face more serious topics. Rosie stepped out of her comfort zone for one of the few lyrical co-writes between the two, “No Longer Lonely”, to write about a close friend passing away. But perhaps the most interesting story on the album lies within the title track, which Richie wrote after receiving an unexpected phone call from the AARP, requesting that he write a song about ‘life after 50’. “They set up a recording date for the song before it was even written. So I’m sitting in my living room, crumpling up paper and trying to write a song about reinventing yourself after 50. I thought, ‘I’m going nowhere with this’,” Richie says about the song that turned into appreciating the present, “That’s what the song was actually born out of. You can look back and look forward, but we aren’t done with life, we’re just where we are. It’s about focusing on the moment.” 

Ironically, the commissioned song became one of their most well-received songs and defined exactly what the duo hopes to achieve -- music that many can connect with. With the fated combination of Richie & Rosie’s unique skill, varied musical influence, and honest storytelling, Nowhere in Time does just that. As two musicians in two very different parts of life, Richie & Rosie are proof of two things: the power and magic of two people making music, and that the universal messages that lie within their songs will remain timeless.

Waylon Jennings Family upset with Luke Bryan

Backwards cap and white teeth are this country crooners trademark look! Luke Bryan ran his mouth we would like to think before speaking and this is what came out when he was responding to criticism regarding his Bro Country music. “I think that people who want Merle, Willie, and Waylon just need to buy Merle, Willie and Waylon. I’ve never been a ‘Those were the good old days’ kind of guy. I’m not big on looking back on the past. I’m not an outlaw country singer. I don’t do cocaine and run around. So I’m not going to sing outlaw country. I like to hunt, fish, ride around on my farm, build a big bonfire and drink some beers—and that’s what I sing about. It’s what I know. I don’t know about laying in the gutter, strung out on drugs. I don’t really want to do that.” Q uote via Ram Country Yahoo .   Waylon's son Buddy married a lady named Kathy Pinkerman who is very proud of being a Jennings and this is what she had to say to Bryan via a YouTube video.

Profile of Suffering for 8 years under President Obama

8 years of suffering under Barack Obama President Barack Obama The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.” Fair enough. Let’s take a look. The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled, closing at 21,414. General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest. While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11. Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. He drew down the number of troops ...

Russian Hackers may have tampered with actual vote totals as their access into voting databases and systems go deeper than originally reported to Americans

Can America handle the truth?  Hacking was Russia's favorite past time in 2016 The American officials have said repeatedly that the Russians did not change actual votes but as time goes on, it looks more and more like that may have just be wishful thinking.   Vladimir Putin Esquire , a well respected publication did a piece on this the other day.  They presented clear facts and when you read some of these facts, you can only come to one conclusion. Here are some of the facts:  In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them...
