About This Album:
On Moods & Meditations, Rich takes a 180 degree stylistic turn from his incendiary blues chops and delivers serene tranquility with his introspective reflections for acoustic guitar, mandolin, baritone guitar and more. With hybrid strains of jazz, classical, folk and gospel, Moods & Meditations offers an original and earnest mix of soulful beauty, exploration and depth. This CD was recorded and engineered by Dr. Admir Hadzic at his very own Stone Tone Studios.
