notes
I guess if anyone would ask where I got my idea for the lyrics on this CD, I would have to say that it came from the hard knocks of living.
Under the Moon was written after the cover was thought of.
A friend of mine asked me to write a song about him and his wife. I put together his life my life and the way love should be, and came up with the song that seems to say it all.
Lilacs was written for my now ex-wife, who loved lilacs, I remember when a friend of mine and I dug up an enormous lilac bush far out in the woods and replanted it at my farm. I believe the plant is still there, but the wife and marriage is long gone.
Broken Heart, Broken Home was the day the furniture and her belongings were loaded up into the u-haul and the kids were put into her van to venture onto a new life style a thousand miles away.
It took a short while to write the song, and a lot longer to sing it all the way through without breaking down. Songs written from the heart have that tendency to lift you up or drop you so hard you never think your going to recover.
Sad Songwriter was written when I was hanging around Nashville. Those lonely motel rooms can bring out some great lyrics.
Songs written on the road gives someone a whole new perspective on how others see them. Sure there was a lot of good-bys before leaving for the road, but I'm sure there was a lot of [I love you] to. I think.
Nashville Connection was written about all of the artist who get off the bus to make their mark on the world. Sometimes it's not with music, but finding someone special to share the rest of your life with. That could be harder to find then an honest manager or major label contract.
Heartbroken Cowboy, was written for the rest of us guys who find themselves out in left field long after the game is over and the lights have been turned off. Where do we go from here?
Ride on Sweet Cowgirl was written about my daughter Sara. She road barrel ponies at the shows for many years. To say I was proud of her would be an understatement. To say she knew it, would be a guess.
Your Driving Me Crazy was written to pitch to Conway Twitty when I haunted Nashville. I don't know if he ever listen to it, but I was told by his sister that he had taken the tape with him on his bus. He died shortly after that. Enough said about bad luck.
Take down the picture was about a girl I dated for tooooo long . Enough said about that too.
The Devils HopYard was written on a cold winters night in the mountains of Pennsylvania. I was up in my room after the show, reading a book and listening to the wind howl out side the window. For some odd reason the pencil on the night stand rolled onto the floor. I went to pick it up and the words started coming to me like static from a wool sweater. The song was written in fifteen minutes, and the lyrics were never changed from day one. Strange but true.
The CD was sold at many stores across the country. It was mostly played on the AM stations.
I don't think it got as much exposure that I wanted it to, but what songwriter doesn't think that?
I hope you enjoy listening to it.
Thank you, Ron Rich

This CD is GREAT! I am really looking forward to seeing Ron rich in concert in New Jersey sometime soon. My favorite song is You're Driving Me Crazy.
Every song is a winner!
author: Sugar's MomBest CD I've heard in 10 years! Songs are from the heart, lyrics are poetry, and the music just grabs you. Ron's voice rivals JD's with a little Gordon Lightfoot in the mix. It's clear he puts himself into his music 100%. This album leaves me wanting more!

Ron has a great God-given talent for songwriting and singing. This CD made me cry, laugh and every other emotion in between! As a musician myself, I think this CD should have gone Gold!!
Ron's voice is POWERFUL!!!!
author: Jennifer DarlingUnder the Moon is undoubtably Ron's best CD. His voice is as good there as it was years ago when my family hung with him all the time. His energy just flows though the music of this CD. Keep up the good work Ron!!!
RON RICH STILL ROCKS!!!!!!!!
author: Shawn WellsRon and I first met opening for Charlie Zahm about 3 years ago in Clearwater FL at a Moccasin Lake concert to honor the music of John Denver. I think ironically, we would have both loved doing our own material, perhaps John would've wanted the same, but it was a beautiful warm evening where everything felt right, and this may have been one of my very few venues to where everyone was humble enough not to want to be the "big star". Ron is definitely real people, and some people had driven over three hours to hear us, Charlie and Sherry Cook, and even at closing time, Ron wanted to stay for more. I think thats what will make him a total success. What you hear in Ron's songs is what he IS, not an image that he creates to sell songs. Those types of people are in great abundance and wall to wall. If you want genuiness, something that just won't make you feel good on the outside, then step into the world of Ron Rich. I would love doing another show with him sometime. Shawn Wells

Loved the CD
author: Tela FankhauserI really enjoy listening to Ron's CD, it's happy, it's sad. It's the kind of CD that just gets you to like it after listening to it just once. I'd most certainly tell my friends and family to get it.
Lyrics that paint pictures and speak to the soul
author: Sarah FoglesongThese songs speak to the listener and paint pictures in the mind, as if you're right there with him experiencing the events. From a bush full of lillacs, to blank walls where pictures used to hang...all filled with memories. Looking forward to a second one!!
I think your cd is fabulous and will gladly share it with my friends and family.
author: Janet OdleThe songs on this cd are fabulous. I will gladly share this cd with my friends and family. They are songs to dream by and to cry with.
The songs in this CD really spoke to my heart.....
author: Debra ChiltonI've listened to this CD many many time and I must say that I am really impressed with the songs. They touch a cord deep within. Sad songwriter brought me to tears, as did Lilacs...songs of love, life, losing..of life itself....I would highly recommend this CD.
''Under The Moon'' is both upbeat and soothing!
author: Kelly RobisonI enjoyed this cd immensely. The songs are sweet and easy to sing to. It's a little bit country.......and a little bit rock n'roll! My favorite of all would have to be Devil's Hopyard. Then again, Take Down The Pictures is a beautiful song too. Heck they were all good! Can't wait for his next cd to come out!
