Ep. 9: Rick Richards (Georgia Satellites, Izzy Stradlin & more)

ABOUT RICK RICHARDS: American guitar slinger Rick Richards is best known for his work with The Georgia Satellites and Izzy Stradlin & the JuJu Hounds and also the Western Sizzlers, Desperate Angels and TheHellhounds. As Rick says......It's all about the tone. Rick Richards is unique. There is no other. If you're looking for that raw, rocking, edgy sound of the Georgia Satellites, you've found your man. Founded in 1985, the Georgia Satellites shot into the upper reaches of the pop charts with their number 2 hit “Keep Your Hands to Yourself” and went, almost overnight, from being a struggling bar band to a national touring act opening for such top names as Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, REO Speedwagon & more. In addition to “Keep Your Hands to Yourself”, the Georgia Satellites also enjoyed Billboard chart success with their hits “Battleship Chains” and “Hippy Hippy Shake”.   Richards also co-wrote and played lead guitar on a dozen records with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin. Rick has continued to tour and wow audiences and guitar lovers across the globe and is a Southern Rock icon.  ABOUT THE PODCAST: Candid discussions with and about those behind the scenes in the music business including industry veterans representing the segments of: Musician, Design & Live ABOUT THE HOSTS: All three Music Buzzz Podcast hosts (Dane Clark, Hugh Syme and Andy Wilson) have spent their careers working with the biggest names in entertainment and have been, and still are, a fly on the wall.
