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
