Rick Harchol is a guitar player, songwriter, producer, arranger, and recording engineer who cofounded Outlaw Blood, a band once signed to Atco/Atlantic, which released their debut self-titled album. His band The Voices released a self-titled album on MCA Records, featuring five songs co-written by Harchol. His music has also been heard in programming seen on HBO, Discovery Channel, MTV, CMT, A&E, and other stations and networks. He landed 12 songs on a City of Peace record, The Morph Kings, as well as having seven of his tunes in the 2014 movie The Identical, starring Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd, and Seth Green, with a cameo by Harchol. His website streams two of his tracks from the film’s soundtrack, “Everybody Knows It” and “Sumthen Boucha,” as well as catchy pop-flavored singles such as “Funk ‘N’ True Love,” “Ala Jmh,” and “A Little Honey.” More bluesy playable numbers include “Live Lightning,” “Surfslide,” “This Could Be Trouble,” and a short but steamy cover of “Red House” that slinks closer to Spirit’s serpentine version than the iconic Hendrix renditions. As a solo performer, “I create percussive and rhythm tracks using a loop pedal to build live parts, which create a full band sound without the need for excess players, volume, or space.”
