 Northport N.Y. - M.C. Records is proud to announce that innovative blues & roots guitarist Rick Holmstrom will release
his first studio recording in nearly five years. Late In The Night (MC-0057) will be released on April 24 in the United States. You can hear tracks from the release at http://www.myspace.com/rickholmstrom
Along with long time band members Stephen Hodges and Jeff Turmes (Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, R.L. Burnside, Mike Watt, John Hammond), Holmstrom delivers a recording that's
fresh, innovative yet completely steeped in the blues. Late In The Night features twelve new Holmstrom songs as well as a unique cover of Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35."
Doug Boehm (the Vines, Moby, Elliott Smith) mixed the CD with a punchy, gritty, stripped down sonic. Rick will be touring Europe in March and will be hitting the road in the U.S. &
Canada in the Spring and Summer.
His last CD, Hydraulic Groove (2002), which Billboard called "..
.blues for the avant mind", was voted one of the best releases of 2002 by amazon.com and frequently heralded as one of the most innovative blues/roots releases of the decade. A twenty
year veteran, Rick has also played and recorded with R.L. Burnside, Billy Boy Arnold, Johnny Dyer, DJ Logic, Rod Piazza, Chuck Prophet and John Medeski.
"Rick reminds me of my Pops. He's got that soulful feeling.
I love playing with Rick." - MAVIS STAPLES
"...keep your eye on Rick Holmstrom. He can play! And a lot of style
too." - JIMMIE VAUGHAN
