Shea,Rick Love & Desperation CD

If Rick Shea's new record Love & Desperation had a motto, it would likely be, 'Necessity is the mother of invention.' The Southern California Americana artist's 12th album - due from Anaheim, CA-based Tres Pescadores Records on Oct. 16/23 as a physical and digital release - is the product of unique recordings sessions that were the product of the unique challenges facing musicians in the year 2020. Part autobiography and part commentary, the songs are a reflection of these modern times.
