Upon his arrival in Los Angeles back in the 80s, songwriter/producer Rick Rowan was quickly signed by Barton Music (publishers of many classic songs recorded by Frank Sinatra and others).
Moving to Nashville a few years later, Rowan co-wrote with several #1 hit country songwriters. His song "You Did It Again" was recorded by The Texas Vocal Company and released on RCA Records.
Now back in Los Angeles, Rowan has recently released "Blue Ravine Road," his latest collection of melodic pop tunes. It features performances by some of the recording industry's finest session players, including Larry Cohn, Robert Berry, Kevin Harris and Barry Fasman -- studio musicians who have recorded with Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Dan Fogelberg, Burt Bacharach, Julio Igesias, Diana Ross, Billy Joel, George Benson, and many others.
It was recorded at Foz Sound (Kenny G, Brenda Russell, Pat Benatar, Don Johnson & Stephen Stills) and Theta Sound Studios (Isaac Hayes, Ray Manzarek of the Doors) in Los Angeles. It was "mastered" by Nancy Matter, of Moonlight Mastering, Burbank, CA, a long-established mastering engineer at Walt Disney Co.
Besides Barton Music, Rick has written for several music publishing companies in the past, including Famous Music, Pride Music, Welk Music, and Chappell Music. Rick now has his own independent publishing company, Colella Songs (ASCAP).
"Rick Rowan's instrumentals bring Burt Bacharach solo albums to mind.... Melodic and classic pop influences."
