Celtic Isle Records Re-issue, 2006

Ric Blair once taught Sheryl Crow how to play guitar, but don’t hold that against him. Over the years, Ric and his band have built up a loyal following with their own brand of impassioned Christian Celtic folk/rock. ‘Always By My Side’ was his first CD and features a variety of worship songs, instrumentals and ballads, including «The Red Sea» which was a big hit on the radio. The record may be more than 10 years old now, but the Celtic sound has not dated and stills sounds as atmospheric as ever. This is a class act in every sense of the word.
