Guitarist Ricky Byrd Returns To Madame Perry's Salon

Former Joan Jett & the Blackhearts guitarist Ricky Byrd has unveiled full details about his long-in-the-works third solo album, Sobering Times. The album is a follow-up to Byrd's 2017 studio effort, Clean Getaway, and similarly is a collection of tunes that focus on offering hope to people recovering from addiction.

Sobering Times arrives on the 33rd anniversary of the day Byrd started his own journey to sobriety. The 12-track collection features contributions from veteran musicians including longtime Blackhearts drummer Thommy Price, ex-Billy Joel drummer Liberty DeVitto , former Wings drummer Steve Holley, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes keyboardist Jeff Kazee , and longtime Saturday Night Live band singer Christine The Beehive Queen Ohlman. The album features a duet with veteran singer/songwriter Willie Nile , plus a collaboration with Richie Supa, who co-wrote several well-known Aerosmith tunes. Following the record's theme, Sobering Times features a cover of the Merle Haggard classic The Bottle Let Me Down. 

Theme music for Madame Perry's Salon composed and performed by Denton Perry.
