 Rick Price

June 10, 1944 – May 17, 2022

Emerging from a vibrant local club scene, he quickly established a reputation for steady, grounding rhythm work across various adventurous ensembles. He joined the lineup of the progressive pop outfit The Move in 1969, locking in the rhythm tracks and providing vocal harmonies on their heavy, experimental studio album Looking On. Rick Price was the bass guitar, pedal steel guitar, and acoustic guitar player for these distinctive projects.

When that collective transitioned into a new project, he branched out to record a collaborative collection with Mike Sheridan in 1970 and a solo record titled Talking To The Flowers in 1971. He then joined forces with Roy Wood once again as a core anchor for the theatrical glam collective Wizzard, driving the low end on consecutive chart-topping singles and albums from 1972 until 1975. Turning his focus to different creative directions, he spent the latter half of the decade exploring songwriting partnerships and playing pedal steel guitar with the Wizzo Band from 1975 to 1978.

David Dix helped launch the Southern rock groove when he took the drum seat for the Outlaws at their 1967 formation. He helped power their early club days before stepping away for a few years.

The rhythm section found its ultimate power when he returned to the lineup in 1977. He anchored a massive two-drummer attack alongside Monte Yoho. This heavy rhythmic foundation fueled the explosive live double album Bring It Back Alive. His driving energy kept the momentum going on studio records like Playin to Win and In the Eye of the Storm. He stayed behind the kit to lock down the beat for their massive 1980 hit single Ghost Riders in the Sky. He continued driving the band on tour and in the studio until 1987, eventually returning for a special reunion run that lasted from 2005 to 2006.
