Rick Price

Rick Price possesses one of the most celebrated and soulful voices in contemporary Australian music.

In a wonderfully diverse and successful recording career now spanning almost two decades, the inspiration for the singer/songwriter’s latest album, Revisted, could not have come more clearly or directly.

“Whenever I go out and do an acoustic show, without fail, people will say to me, ‘When are you going to make an acoustic record?’” Rick explains. “So really, this was borne out of requests from people asking me to do it.

That was the inspiration behind it, to give people a different look at the songs because when you listen to the old recorded versions, they were done 15 to 18 years ago, they are very different to how I sing and perform them today.”

Of course, those old recorded versions of Rick’s greatest hits have taken on a life of their own – mainstays of modern-day mainstream Australian radio. Hardly a day goes by where Rick’s voice isn’t heard coming out of a radio somewhere in Australia, as well as across Asia.

But since his pop idol days in the 1990s, Rick Price has forged himself a successful career not only as a great recording artist, but also as a true musical troubadour – a multi- instrumentalist, a producer, a man and his songs on an endless tour.

When the time finally came to record this acoustic record, Rick knew he didn’t want to simply recreate the solo live show, sitting behind a microphone accompanied only by his guitar and voice.

Rick decided he’d flesh out the arrangements, take this rare opportunity to completely breathe new life into the instrumentation of a dozen of the most important songs of his career.

Rick plays every instrument you hear on Revisited, aside from a couple of guest performances from mates Clayton Doley playing Hammond organ on “Tenterfield Saddler” [a remake of Rick’s unforgettable tribute to Peter Allen] and Daniel Conway on nylon string guitar and harmony in “Church On Fire”.

Rick also recorded and self- produced the album in his own recording studio.
