"The album finds the studio and stage veteran in fine form. He draws from influences as wide-ranging as his past credits, including tenures with Chris Gaffney’s Cold Hard Facts, Dave Alvin’s Guilty Men, singer-songwriter Katy Moffatt, and with the legendary Wanda Jackson."
- Pop Dose Magazine
If Rick Shea's new record Love & Desperation had a motto, it would likely be, "Necessity is the mother of invention". The Southern California Americana artist's 12th album is the product of unique recordings sessions that were the product of the unique challenges facing musicians in the year 2020. Part autobiography and part commentary, the songs are a reflection of these modern times.
