pale rider (ricky ross album)









































pale rider is a solo album from scottish rock musician (and member of deacon blue) ricky ross.









































ross' musical style on "pale rider" strays only slightly from his previous solo album, "this is the life", and thus breaks his tradition of making significant shifts in musical direction on each of his solo albums. despite the similarities in style, "pale rider" is, overall, a more vibrant and melodic album than its predecessor—despite its recurring themes of death and mortality.
