about

"Richards’ dry grizzled tones remind me of Levon Helm; which has to be a good thing!" The Rocking Magpie, UK

Richard's love of raw blues powers his songwriting contributions to Strange Flight, “Fire And Gasoline” and “I Guess.”

“My songs tend to be written around a strong rhythm and a guitar hook,” he says. “I often write with a lyricist I’ve known since my high school days and then take his lyrics and re-work them against the rhythm and the hook. Rather than telling a story, my songs rely much more on imagery and symbolism to create their impact.”

lyrics

Fire and Gasoline (Richard Henderson, Rob Easto)

Noah you made it, got out alive
But you better watch out, it won’t be water next time
God told Noah, you know what I mean
Next time it’s fire and gasoline
I’m gonna float to Heaven in my limousine
God said Noah, you got to be dead first
You only get to Heaven in a big black hearse

Well, the swaddling child know what he’d do
He gonna save the world before he get through
He cried out Lord at what he’d seen
Give me fire and give me gasoline
I’m gonna rise to Heaven in my limousine
Sorry son for your pain and thirst,
But you only get to Heaven in a big black hearse

I’m gonna drive that hearse down on Route 16
I got a full tank of fire and gasoline
Gonna get to Heaven in a mile or two
Moses part the water ‘cause I’m comin’ on through

Well, the devil he live on the Shankhill Road
He rock on his porch, he take what he’s owed
He laugh in the night at God’s grand scheme
Give me fire and give me gasoline
I’m gonna drive past Heaven in my limousine
Wrong turn boy, I heard God curse
You gonna do some ridin’ in the next black hearse
