Episode 118: Ricky Warwick (The Fighting Hearts, The Almighty, Black Star Riders, Thin Lizzy)

Since I first heard the iconic Scottish metal band The Almighty in 1990, I have been a huge fan of vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Ricky Warwick.  At a mere 58 years old, Ricky Warwick has lived the dreams many of us can ONLY dream about.  Ricky was handpicked to front a newly re-formed Thin Lizzy in 2009 and later co-founded the Black Star Riders with former Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham.  He has worked with amazing artists such as Joe Elliot of Def Leppard, Billy Duffy of The Cult, Lita Ford, and the legendary Irish punk rock band The Stiff Little Fingers.  

I had the honor of talking with Ricky from his home in California, where his family is safe and sound from the California Wildfires.  Ricky and I spoke about his forthcoming album Bloodties, the art and excitement of songwriting, and shared many laughs.  Ricky is an absolutely amazing human being and a talent like no other.
