about

Collection featuring some of the earliest Rick Redbeard recordings.

When I first began writing and recording my own songs, I used to get a kick from making CDRs for friends and family and to sell at shows. After going through my various hard drives over the past year or so, I rediscovered a lot of this material and hearing those old songs brought back that initial excitement. It inspired me to bring some of them together; recreating a version of those early CDs here on Bandcamp.

Written and/or recorded between 2004-2011, using a variety of equipment, the songs presented here retain all of the creaks, wonky harmonies, out-of-tune violins, dodgy improvised lyrics and general naive abandon you would expect from someone learning how to write and record music.

In an alternate reality this could have been my first record.
In a way it is.
