Although we’ve never interviewed Mr. Roberts, we have enjoyed his commentaries on Facebook. He is a gifted writer and his book might just genuinely reflect the joys and tears of being in a few traveling bands! With that, we’ll help to promote Mr. Roberts’ book, “And It’ll be Alright” – be the first to order one (oops, too late – I already did!) On Facebook, Rick writes: First off, I’ll admit that I’m not very good at self-promotion when it comes to pushing my stuff, be it songs or books. My publisher asked me to contact a bunch of the people who have interviewed me over the years, and ask if they’d like to do a new interview to discuss my upcoming book.
Doing that would make me very uncomfortable, plus, to be honest, I don’t know how to reach most of my interviewers.
So instead, I want to encourage any of you who happen to fall into that category (Former and veteran Rick Roberts interviewers) to contact me and help me merchandise my new book.
Just drop me a note and we’ll go from there.
The publisher says: In Rick Roberts’ complete autobiography (with photos), fans will learn secrets about Rick Roberts’ life that they’ve never learned before!
Rick Roberts is a 40-year veteran of the rock’n’roll wars. He began his recording career in 1970 with the Flying Burrito Brothers and was a major contributor to their last two albums. He went on to do two solo albums and then form the well-known band Firefall in 1974, with whom he played for seven years during their heyday. He has also been a member of Stephen Stills’ band and Linda Ronstadt’s band during his career, and has been awarded two platinum and four gold albums for his efforts.
He has had over 60 of his compositions recorded and performed by such artists as The Burritos, Firefall, Stephen Stills, Linda Ronstadt, Barry Manilow, The Dirt Band, and numerous others. He is the composer of the hit songs “Just Remember I Love You”, “You Are The Woman”, “Strange Way”, “Colorado”, and several more that graced the Top 40 at one time or another.
After suffering a debilitating brain injury in 2006 which left him in jeopardy of never walking again, it took him nearly four years of intense physical therapy to walk again without crutches or other aids. Rick currently lives and works in Longmont, Colorado with his wife, Mary.
