Ricky,
aged 44, shows he's still got dignity RICKY ROSS, King Tut's, Glasgow, August 30 "I'M 44 and still bloody handsome," claims a modest Ricky two songs into his set. But could the ex- Deacon Blue man's songwriting stand the test of time? Opening number Rodeo Boy, from new album This Is The Life, is a guitar- laden growler which dragged. But he soon delivered the hooky melodies and catchy riffs which suggest his talents haven't waned. Stand- outs included new tracks My Girl Going To Town and Hippy Girl. Jack Bress |
