Search - Fritz Richard :: Picture This

Fritz Richard toured the Southwest with his band, The Plan, in the early 90's. This well produced CD with its sometimes dreamy, sometimes reflective, sometimes quirky lyrics stands out with timeless melodies and memorable hooks. From the raucous rocker, Tear Down These Walls, to the epic anthem Babylon, to the soaring ballad, Last Dance (all award winning songs), this CD has 12 tracks (plus a surprise extended version of Tear Down These Walls) that also feature well known session musicians Tim Pierce (Crowded House, Rick Springfield, Toy Matinee), Sara K., Holly Sherwood (The Marauders), and Andrea Cline (The Muttz, Cadillac Bob).

More recently, the song Babylon describes the impetous for the 'American Tea Party' movement, as it rails against those who would rape America of her most precious treasures (the long-held traditions of entrepreneurial spirit and the rewarding of success) while propping up shaky institutions and the politically connected by saddling future generations with a mountain of financial obligations.
