Rick Riso / Shouting At The Walls

One year later from his solo debut on Home Sweet Home Records in 1985, the second solo album “Shouting At The Walls” followed. Riso’s songwriting is said to be influenced by that of Earth Wind & Fire and/or Gino Vannelli. Personally I felt the atmosphere of Bobby Caldwell’s blue-eyed soul early works.
Rick further released “As For My House” in 1994, “Man Of His Hand” in 1995. With his spouse Cathy, he released “One Love” in. 1997 and “As We Enter” in 1999.
