Ricky Warwick premieres official video for 'When Patsy Cline Was Crazy' via Classic Rock!

RICKY WARWICK's new double album, »When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)« / »Hearts On Trees«, was released in February of this year. Today, RICKY returns with the official video for 'When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)' premiering exclusively with Classic Rock: http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-10-04/ricky-warwicks-new-video-revives-the-poetic-vagabond-spirit-of-thin-lizzy

RICKY comments: "This song sums up my childhood...and I'm sure a lot of people out there can relate to the sentiment behind it."

Sam Robinson, who wrote the lyrics to the song adds: "My world of music was far detached from that of my peers. My father's tastes outflanked both THE BEATLES and THE STONES. When I dropped the needle on CONNIE FRANCIS, THE EVERLY BROTHERS, JOHNNY RAY, SINATRA, SPRINGFIELD, GUY MITCHELL and of course PATSY CLINE crackled and sparkled from the old beaten up record player that was one of their most prized possessions. Recovering from illness in his late forties both he and I would cycle to Island Hill, talking and laughing as we went. Those times brought us so close together I can remember them as if it were yesterday. On the morning I sat there (four decades later) thinking of him when spontaneously 'Crazy' came on to the car radio I found myself writing this song almost instantly on the back of an envelope. Showing it to Ricky and seeing his reaction I knew that these were his Saturday nights too. Ricky's dad sadly passed away this year, so the words, the emotions and the memories that this song evokes I in turn dedicate to my mate, because I know that just like him if I could have just one more night, I know that I'd still choose 'When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)'."

Both albums boast an array of acclaimed musicians with guests including; Joe Elliot (DEF LEPPARD), Damon Johnson (THIN LIZZY/BLACK STAR RIDERS), Andy Cairns (THERAPY?), Billy Morrison (BILLY IDOL), Nathan Connolly (SNOW PATROL), Ginger Wildheart, Jake Burns (STIFF LITTLE FINGERS), Richard Fortus (GUNS 'N ROSES/THE DEAD DAISIES) and Mark Thwaite (THE MISSION, PETER MURPHY).

The artwork for the double albums reflects the tone of each - »When Patsy Cline Was Crazy...« showcases the electric rock and roll side of RICKY, whilst »Hearts On Trees« veers more towards tender stripped-back songwriting, influenced by both Americana and, more importantly, RICKY's Northern Irish roots.

RICKY explains: "»Hearts On Trees« and »When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)« were written by myself and my good friend Sam Robinson, both albums depict our experiences of growing up and coming from the Greater East Belfast area, not only experiences that have happened to us but historical references and stories that have been told to us by friends and family... in saying that both albums translate those experiences on to a global scale that hopefully anyone geographically can relate to."
