"This album is a “Roller Coaster de Festivus”, blending his own new age stylings with classic, traditional and original holiday music.  Also, a lot of the tracks feature the Nashville String Machine.  Certainly very cool stuff." - Mark Hornsby

Ricky's writing and arrangements of the music on this CD are incredible. And his performance is moving. Christmas in a Small Town is a real holiday treasure that should be passed to so many for years to come. - Steve Perkins

"Ricky, Christmas In A Small Town is the greatest. I love the Christmas holiday. Your song is very relaxing. When I was watching and listening to it, it made me relaxed. I started to cry because your small town made me think of family at the holidays. I am a person that likes being with family anytime. But the way the world is you can not have family togetherness like we did years ago.

Listening to you brought back memories and wishing I live where you do. I have a lot of things going on in my life and being a Director of Music at a church at this time of the year can stress you out. Again your song is so great. Ricky, I hope you have a great holiday with your family and partner." - Dennis M. Farber

Really... really.... really.... this is like the very, very best Christmas song I have ever heard.  What would it take for it to get picked up and taken big?!  Everyone deserves to be this happy!!" - Jill Reicks, Cedar Rapids, IA

"What a refreshing, heartfelt song. It's wonderful and brought back so many of my childhood memories of growing up in a small town. Everyone should know about this beautiful music." - Debbie Madigan
