Listen to previews

 ‘I heard about an organization called 'Wireless For The Blind' that helps provide resources to the
blind. In the past I'd done a show for the Bristol Eye hospital high-lighting the fact that so many
early blues greats were blind. It's a long story but I feel I've gained so much from this kind of music
inspiration from players like the great 'Blind Willie Johnson' and many others - that I would dedicate
this new CD to them and at the same time make a donation from the album to 'Wireless For The Blind'.
Time to give back, without sounding too coy I hope.’  -  Blues Matters magazine Dec 2010

Roy Book Binder - ‘Enjoying the tunes! Nice take on some old themes, solid playing
and heart felt singing’

Peter Finger - ‘Very nice album. Congratulations. Rick’s music is fun to listen to. He plays
the music I grew up with and all the country blues and folk influences sound
familiar to me. However his songs are so fresh and positive I can’t stop to press
the repeat button. Wonderful!.’ ( Acousic Music Records )

Martyn Joseph - ‘Cool blues grooves’

Stuart Cook - Rick Payne has a great empathy for this music. He is a wonderful musician and
teacher ( Fan, pupil and consultant Bristol Eye Hospital )
