Description by Tompkins Square:

"Tompkins Square is proud to release two solo acoustic guitar albums by Rick Deitrick. Gentle Wilderness was released as a private press LP in 1978. River Sun River Moon consists of previously unreleased recordings from the same time period. Deitrick came to our attention via Brooks Rice and Michael Klausman, who compiled Imaginational Anthem Vol 8: The Private Press, which features Rick's "Missy Christa" from Gentle Wilderness.

According to Rick, "I completely divorced my playing from any formal music knowledge, but it was very important to me to use original tuning. During those years, the sixties / seventies, there was a lot of acoustic guitar playing, often using open tuning as a base. I wanted to create whole tones without de- tuning and keep access to the complex sounds stock tuning provided. "

Rick sought inspiration in nature and in particular the various rivers scattered around the Western United States, often composing songs seated beside them -and even occasionally perched on boulders Rick would sometimes literally come straight out of the mountains and rush to the studio to record the ideas he, d gathered. "Missy Christa" was recorded at Mount Olympus studio in Hollywood and was named after Rick, s daughter; it was originally composed right next to the Big Sur River where he had been camping.

Rick currently resides in Los Angeles, "still strumming, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
