"'The Real Me' stands as a cornerstone of my album 'Redemption'," says Rick. "As a lifelong fan of The Who, I wanted to pay tribute to the golden age of '70s rock. To capture that spirit, I brought together a true supergroup with Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Brad Gillis, a unique moment where legends unite to breathe new life into a classic."

The new album will also feature guest appreances from The Doors legendary guitarist Robby Krieger, and Lee Aaron, Amy Keys (Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, TOTO, Sting, Stevie Wonder), rising guitar hot shot Jacob Deraps, as well as Rick's sister Lulu Hughes.
