“Dear Ricky, thanks for bringing your band to play for HTMA. I especially enjoyed the new songs you presented. Your band sets a high standard for performance quality. Not sure we will have even one other this year that will be comparable."
-Jerry LeCroy,

"Oh my goodness it was so awesomely amazing!! I felt like a dying plant set in a forest mist, and the rains came gently down and filled in all thirsty roots and leaves...It's been so long since I've heard good music!! Just getting to sit and soak in is such a rare treatI.. the whole evening filled me with wonder!! Every member of your band is very talented and you all are blessed to have each other!! Acoustically I think you are pretty darn amazing on your own, so don't hesitate to put out your own acoustic CD (I'll take 3 !!:) ) but with everyone sharing their talents and interpretations it’s just outstanding."

"I belonged to the songs. To the sounds. To the stories. Each masterfully unleashed by the collective talent of this band. I had not asked for such wonder. Yet it came. From the haunting melody of long-ago Ireland in ”The Ghost of Rory O’Moore,” to the upbeat-yet-sober reality of heartache in “I Do It For Love,” to the poignant and nearly indescribable pain that comes from observations of the sometimes dark, always broken nature of the human condition in “The Ballad Of Katie Lynn,” and “I Move On.”
- Justin Newman
"Ricky's Band brings a fresh blend of acoustic music that reflects a heritage that includes all folk styles from blues to bluegrass, while presenting well crafted songs with bright arrangements suited well for Taylor's tenor vocals. I love the Celtic traditional strands that flow through the music as well.“

"The band has one of the most unique and beautiful sounds we’ve heard in quite a while. You will most assuredly be entertained and mesmerized by this performance.”
