Number of Juke Rhythm (1999) Reviews: 1
Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assistant October 12, 2001 This is a very good mix of R & B, blues and funk exercises which although rarely slow in
tempo remains colorful throughout. The songs that Rick appears on are the most funky
ones especially the irresistible rappin' of "Love me like that" (inside the CD booklet it
states what is not stated on the outside packaging which is that track 14 is referred to as a
"mysterioso bonus track" and is billed as "Love me like that (Primitive mix)" which has
some extra groovy rhythm guitar stand outs from Rick which are a real treat) and the
speedy epic "The real feel (JRB theme) Parts 1 & 2" (co-penned by Rick) though the
piano samba styled "Dancin' on the edge of the razorblade" has some audible Vito guitar
work and some interesting "jive" snippets on another Vito co-write "Da' blues hip hop"
(Rick is listed as one of the "jive"ers). Although on the whole this is mostly modern
sounding there are relevant splashes of purism here with some traditionally felt numbers
thrown in for good measure such as the harmonica & spoons only affair "Twice pipes".
Also, the packaging may not look like much outside but there's some good B & W photos
of Rick inside as part of the "JRB" (Juke Rhythm Band) through the years (there's one
from 1975, one from 1995, etc.) So, all in all, this is definitely one album you don't want
to judge from the cover. Recommended listening.
