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 new album, REVISTED, could not have come more clearly or directly.
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 multiinstrumentalist, a producer, a man and his songs on an endless tour.
