Richie Albright–Country’s & Waylon’s Most Iconic Drummer–Has Died
“There’s another way of doing things, and that’s rock ‘n roll,” is the quote attributed to the Baghdad, Arizona-native. This is the title of the sixth chapter of Waylon’s biography, and what Richie conveyed to Waylon after the Hall of Famer was rendered dejected at the direction of his music under the oppressive thumb of producer Chet Atkins, RCA Records, and the Nashville Sound present on Music Row in the early 70s. Waylon was thinking of quitting music altogether, and perhaps becoming a DJ. The quote by Richie inspired him, and inspired an entire generation of country music performers.
