Rick Droit

Droit's current album Return of the Firehorse shows a level of mature songwriting seldom seen from today's younger artists. We get glimpses of more robust production on songs such as Wild Mustangs with the welcome contrast of Sara Hickman's voice. It's easy to appreciate his penchant for keeping things simple and articulate, but it often feels like he's holding back, reluctant to allow his songs to take on a life of their own.

Droit's 70's style Americana may lack the intensity that today's audiences crave. One should avoid operating heavy machinery while listening to Homeward, but what Droit lacks in power and intensity he makes up with enthusiasm and sincerity.

For fans of the Americana and folk genres, Rick Droit is a great artist to check out. He brings plenty of originality to the party and promises of increased success.
