Biography

Growing up in northern Ireland on a diet of Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Motörhead, and the Ramones, Ricky Warwick started performing with New Model Army in the late '80s before helping to form U.K. punk band the Almighty in 1988. After a lengthy stint with several successful records in the '80s and '90s, the group disbanded in 2001. Shortly thereafter, Warwick teamed up with Def Leppard lead singer Joe Elliott to record and produce his solo debut, Tattoos & Alibis, in early 2003 for the Sanctuary imprint. A decidedly different approach to his music, Warwick went back to his singer/songwriter roots, crafting songs resembling his country-rock heroes more than his punk roots. The follow-up, Love Many, Trust Few, appeared in May of 2005. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
