Rich Hopkins is in a heroic struggle against mediocrity and complacency. A prolific writer, singer, guitarist, producer and humanitarian, Hopkins is concerned for the well-being of his fellow man and wonders about the events that have shaped us as a nation and a race. Letting him into your life with his music and stories on “Tombstone,” just might help you make sense of it all in some small way.
“Tombstone,” which is in this collection of music they love, differs from Hopkins’ previous works in its recording and production by Lars Goransson, a Swedish-born engineer from Austin’s Sounds Outrageous. Prominently featuring Hopkins and Novak, the record further boasts the talents of Austin-based guitarist virtuoso/songwriter Jon Sanchez (Alejandro Escovedo, Bob Schneider), bassist George Reiff (Joe Walsh), and George Duron on drums.
