J.R. Richards

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My father teaching me how to play and sing "Country Roads" by John Denver on guitar. The BEST times ever!! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chronicle, Vol. 2: Twenty Great CCR Classics (Remastered) Depeche Mode, Music for the Masses (Bonus Track Version) Dishwalla, Opaline As a young keyboard player, "Depeche Mode' gave me hope that I could be in a cool band :) Fogerty has written some of the best rock songs ever. Full stop. Opaline... it is my favorite album experience ever writing and recording with Dishwalla. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Until I Wake Up (Acoustic Version)” I write a lot of songs.... and most are crap.... but this one I got right and found some magic. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Winning Billboard Rock Song of the Year with DISHWALLA (and beating Metallica!).... Crazy times! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'd love to write a song with Bono and the Edge and be in the studio while they record it.
