Rich Wyman = Michael Mcdonald + Eddie Money + Huey Lewis
Rich Wyman’s album, Good Company , is a delicious slice of piano-ballad pie. I know it’s cliché, but I can’t help but think of Elton John ’s work when I listen to these tracks—they have that same bounce and those wide-open choruses. The production on the album is truly excellent, with each instrument doing its part to support Wyman’s fantastic piano and vocals. It certainly helps that he worked with some of Utah’s finest musical talents, including drummer Van Christensen and guitarist Taylor Hansen , to complete each composition. Wyman got it right—this album is “good company” to get your day started right, in the car or on your back porch with a beer. I definitely recommend it! – Ischa B.
