ROCKWiRED RADiO PROFiLES PRESENTS
AN EXCLUSiVE iNTERViEW WiTH RiCK DEViN AND CUTS FROM HiS NEW RELEASE 'OLD SCHOOL 2 - ROCK HiTS OF THE 60's AND
70's'
Oh
the American Songbook! Many an elder rocker and even a few younger
folks like MICHAEL BUBLE are building their careers out of the music
that got your grandparents necking each other. I want to see the day
when this sort of pop music interpretation moves on from GERSHWIN and
PORTER and embraces the harder edged sounds that got us out of the 20th
century intact. Award-winning recording artist RICK DEVIN has
come to this same conclusion and has released two albums called OLD
SCHOOL - ROCK HITS FROM THE 60s AND 70s. He has just released the
second edition of this recording and the results are magical.
Rock standards such as LAYLA (DEREK AND THE DOMINOES), TICKET
TO RIDE (THE BEATLES) and ROCKY MOUNTAIN WAY (JOE WALSH) are given
spirited performances by DEVIN and such guest musicians as CHRIS
PINNICK, CHRIS PITMAN, CHET MCCRACKEN, RON 'BUMBLEFOOT' THAL
and more.

BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."
