A heartland rock gem with punk attitude and instantly memorable hooks. Great songs built on melody, passion and truth never go out of style and for proof look no further than Ricky Warwick's new solo album Love Many Trust Few. This is the second solo album from the Northern Ireland native, formerly of the British punk/hard rock band The Almighty. Love Many Trust Few was produced by Def Leppard vocalist Joe Elliott, Warwick's longtime friend. Elliott also helmed Warwick's 2003 solo Sanctuary debut Tattoos & Alibis. Elliott makes a guest appearance on Love Many Trust Few as does his Def Leppard bandmate, guitarist Vivian Campbell. With Love Many Trust Few, Ricky Warwick has done a musical 180. Newly solo and relocated to Los Angeles, Warwick has developed an emotionally direct and pure style all his own, drawing on varied influences including Johnny Cash, Cheap Trick and Tom Petty, not to mention a great love of rock n roll history. "I learned how to play guitar from my dad?s Johnny Cash records," Warwick says, although the MC5 and The Clash were just as influential. Each of Love Many Trust Few?s 14 tracks is a lovingly crafted heartland rock gem, full of instantly memorable hooks and chiming guitars, showcasing Warwick?s talents as a captivating storyteller, mixing confessional lyrics with a touch of punk attitude and a knowing, world-weary swagger. Love Many Trust Few proves there?s life after punk and it doesn?t include selling out.
