Reviewer: Anonymous, April 26, 2008 Hey Hunter......
My name is Doug Monks and I was your Dad's keyboard player with "Randy and the Rest". WE also had Frank Erwin on Guitar, Leo Russo on Drums, along with John McVay. I have great memories of that time. I remember your grandparents, (Marge was a trip!) and your uncles Rick and Mike. Tell your dad I said hello.
Well, Randy is my dad
Reviewer: Hunter Richards (alohabasics@yahoo.com), April 17, 2006 So my dad ( Randall Richards) has always told me about his almost famous music career and the people he has written songs for, ect. He used to be in a band in alabama called randy and the rest, yada yada yada. so i decided to google some of these names of his bands and solo album stuff, abd sure enough i found this site. ive never heard him sing on a record or cd or anything like that, but he does still sing alot. i have to give the album a 5star rating because he is my dad after all. Anyway my name is Hunter Richards and if your reading this i hope that put a smile on your face. Randy is doing great.
Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assistant October 31, 2001 A rather lightweight collection of faceless pop rock leaning towards easy listening stylings
but not quite as empty or banal in general as demonstrated on "Spaceman". The two songs
that feature Rick Vito are two of the songs present with the lightest drum track which
makes it somewhat easier to hear Rick's acoustic guitar works on "Inside of me" and his
electric guitar on "Sweet sympathy" but more so on the former. This sounds like many A
& M records singer/songwriter types that had cropped up over the years but Richards isn't
as deep as say, Steve Goodman and the hooks are not as strong as one would hope. It's
hard to know whether to blame it on song choices or writing as Richards writing credits
and those that are covers are pretty much split down the middle. Anyways, it's not one to
rush out for but there's much worse platters out there.
