Ricky Byrd and Mavis Staples

Post By Ricky Byrd

I was lucky enough to be part of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame event in Cleveland last weekend.I’m in the House band with Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel), Jeff Carlisi(38 Special), Jeff Adams(Starship), Rob Arthur (Peter Frampton) and singer Tabitha Fair.

We’ve been doing this every year except one since 2006, and have had the pleasure to back up a bunch of great artists over the years, but baby this year was it!!! Not only did we play with Darlene Love, Chuck Jackson, Ronnie Spector and Tears for Fears lead singer Curt Smith…but the one and only Mavis Staples. Mavis Staples I said!! Talk about a Ray of Light.

First off when she came to sound check she remembered all of our names, which is not the case for most artists we play with. Then she teased me about looking like a young Dylan who she dated in the 60’s..just a sweetheart. The room lit up when she walked in. We did 3 tunes with Mavis..”The Weight”, “Wrote a Song for everyone” and I’ll take you there!!

When she started “I’ll take you there” I looked around and everyone on stage(including me) had tears in there eyes. Mavis was testifyin’.. and this was just sound check..lol.

Before the show I went up to her dressing room to say how much it meant to this long time sober lad to play with someone as spiritual as she and we talked for about a 1/2 hr. I walked out of there floating on air. Just a joy to be around. The show itself was better than great and it is an experience I’ll never forget. I get to do all these cool things because I’m sober, show up and can be trusted to do a good job. Grateful, Sober and Ready to Rock I am!!!

Philip Milano’s breakout CD- It’s My Time

Philip Milano’s breakout CD ‘It’s My Time’ has its serious moments, though for the most part remains campy and fun with a clean, fresh sound reminiscent of the rock ‘n’ roll records of the mid-sixties.

The entire album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Paul Orofino at Millbrook Sound Studios, Millbrook, NY.

Tonight at 10pm ET & 7PM PT on “Rockers In Recovery” we will be interviewing 2010 Prism Award nominee Laura C. and we will also have Anthony D'Amato from the awesome rock band D'Amato on the show.



After 20 years of using alcohol and drugs, Laura entered a Recovery Program December 31, 2006. She was unable to find the kind of music that she needed to help her through my process, so she created it. The result of her musical recovery journal, is the CD "The Gift of Brokenness" - 12/Steps-12/Songs. She wrote about everything - from driving drunk in a blackout with her kids in the car, sitting in a meeting and hating everyone there, to the first day she woke up with a glimmer of hope. It is her raw and honest story - and outlines where she was emotionally and spiritually at each step in the recovery process.
