专辑简介

Ricky Wilcox has released his 3rd solo record since his stellar career as a drummer/singer/songwriter with such iconic bands as Florida's Deloris Telescope and Chicago's D'Thumbs and Theatre Band. After touring the US, Canada, Japan and Germany, Ricky has settled in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida where he plays music full time, mostly as a guitarist/singer and frequently with his band The Moonsnakes. Previous solo CD "Monkeyshine" (available on CDBaby) had song placement on ABC soap All My Children...and received great reviews from the music press including :"Ricky Wilcox has been a staple of the local scene for 20 years, playing drums in the revered alt-rock Deloris Telescope in the 1980s and now fronting the Moonsnakes and making a solo name for himself.

Monkeyshine, Wilcox's solo debut, is chock full of power pop confections such as the irresistible Shangrila with its sugary chorus and even sweeter meaning. The song is about two lovers who dream of a perfect home for themselves, a place in their heads that may not exist in the real world. (Pay attention to the pummeling drums on this tune; it's Wilcox.) Wilcox is a talented writer, a terrific singer - dig those gritty vocals on Hollow Tree, a sad and punchy ode to what could have been, a tune that laments, "I wish you could have known me better," and punches along in the vein of the Gin Blossoms' Jealousy..."
