With all of his accomplishments as an actor, best-selling author and documentary subject, Rick Springfield s first love has always been music, a passion he s harbored since first picking up the guitar at the age of 12 in his native Australia.
During Rick Springfield s 40+ year career, the artist has amassed 17 Top 40 hits, including four Top 10 s as well as achieving an iconic cultural moment with the Number One hit Jessie s Girl, for which he won a 1981 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. And after 25 million records sold, Springfield shows no signs of slowing down. I put everything I've got into making records, he says. Sometimes people may think they have you pegged but I trust the music to speak for itself.
Over the last two years, Rick has been treating fans to a special ongoing series of intimate solo performances of his vast repertoire. Rick also spends time in between songs telling stories, explaining lyrics and generally connecting with his always-loyal fan base. This CD/DVD set documents highlights of those performances with compelling video on the DVD, plus 14 Springfield songs recorded live, including dynamic covers of the classics Oh Well,Rollin' & Tumblin' and Baby Blue plus one brand new song, the clever If Wishes Were Fishes.
