Appearances, as they say, can be deceiving. A first look at Jason Ricci – with his blond braids, sometimes multicolored hair and do-rag – might give the impression that he’s a Grateful Dead refugee or maybe a member of some white-boy reggae band. But no, Ricci is, in fact, one...
. The record is steeped in the blues and features Ricci's phenomenal harp chops.Appearances, as they say, can be deceiving. A first look at Jason Ricci – with his blond braids, sometimes multicolored hair and do-rag – might give the impression that he’s a Grateful Dead refugee or maybe a member of some white-boy reggae band.
"And I was interested, not only in how the music sounded, but how did they get it to sound that way? So I said, ‘Let’s do it that way. Let’s just go back and put everything in one room, and even put up mics to catch bleed-through. And it was hard to find an engineer, in this day and age, to do that. In addition to maintaining a full performance schedule, Ricci supplies a steady stream of online video content each week. “Sixteen years total, coming up on 17, I’ve been making free YouTube lessons. There’s over 600 harmonica-related instructional content kind of things.”
“I think we can still write – lyrically – modern, but keep the music less rocked-up. I want blues, I want New Orleans R and B, and I want jazz. And I want less of the rock edge. Funk is fine, but less of the rock and roll.” Kaitlin Dibble, Ricci’s wife and a member of his band, is featured on a number of the album’s songs, including an impassioned cover of Ruth Brown’s “5-10-15 Hours.” Dibble and Ricci share vocals on “Why Don’t We Sleep on It,” a song that reflects the tensions that sometimes occur between spouses. The song gets extra points for rhyming “a million in the bank” with “selling bathtub crank.”
