Anyone listened to the new RB cd?     Nice sound.   
Some of the tracks remind me very much of MK.

Just checked out the demo clips, nice sound with an MK touch. $13.99 for the full CD is a little much though...I may download a few of tracks to show support for ol' Dick Bennett!!

Very markish, indeed.

I don't follow Richard solo efforts, so I'd like to know if all his 4 albums are instrumental ones. Does anyone knows, pals?

Indeed. All instrumentals. I particularly like the overall feel of "Themes From a Rainy Decade".

I love his second album, it's so jazzy. First album have some very touching ballads.

Listening again to this last album, it sounded me very much like Hank Marvin. Cool and catchy, I feel.

Must grab some copies, espeically as Dick's sound is a cross between MK and Mr Marvin!!!
