local bluegrass band, “Gold Rush” Wolford claims music
gives people>$n excuse to+iave a good time.
Mandolin pickin’, singing, having a good time and making sure
the audience is, too, are factors that make entertaining en
joyable to Wolford. He describes the band’s Sunday night gig at
Magellan’s in Gladstone as his “mental health work for the week.”
“Students get to be crazy all week long, but teachers have to act
normal,” he said. “On weekends, I let it all hang out.”
“All of a sudden it’s all right for them to laugh, shout,
hoot and holler— which is what they wanted io do
anyway,”he said.

Wolford maintains that communication with his audience helps
insure good entertainment, and makes it more worthwhile to him.
“It’s fun to talk with people, have a good time watching people
have a good time,” he said. “Some people need a reason to get
warmed up. I get to be a part of the thing that lets them have fun.”
“All of a sudxden it’s all right for them to laugh, shout, hoot and
holler—which is what they wanted to do anyway,” he said.
“Gold Rush” has been in existence less than a year. Aside from
Magellan’s, they have been seen at the “Shingle Mill” in Estacada,
and various private parties.

Rick Roberts proves talent
Not too many people know
who Rick Roberts is, but nearly
everyone has heard his smooth
vocals for the popular soft-rock
group Firefall on their hit
singles, “You Are the Woman,”
“Just Remember I Love You,”
and “Strange Way.”
Before Roberts received
popular acclaim with Firefall,
he recorded two solo albums
for A&M Records titled “Win
dmills” and “She Is'a Song.”
“The Best of Rick Roberts”
contains tracks from these two
albums plus two songs from
his days with the legendary
group, the Flying Burrito
Brothers.
“Colorado” opens side one
oL“The Best of Rick Roberts.”
This song, taken from the third
and last studio album of the
Flying
Burrito
Brothers,
remains Roberts’ classic tune:
a gentle tale of a guy who
leaves the mountains of
Colorado to make it in the big
city, but finds out that the fast-
paced lifestyle is not for him.
Linda Ronstadt made the song
popular with her formidable
version on her album, “Don’t
Cry Now.”
On both of his studio
By Mike Koller
Of The Print
albums, Roberts surrounded
himself with lots of proven
talent. “Windmills” featured
such names as Jackson
Browne, David"Crosby, ex
Eagles Randy Meisner and
Bernie Leadons, and Don
Henley, who is still with the
Eagles. “She Is a Song”
displayed Joe Walsh and his
former group, Barnstrom,
backing Roberts on several
cuts.
“The Best of Rick Roberts”
contains many songs with all
of this talent meshed together.
Roberts and David Crosby sing
lifting harmonies on the slow
ballad, “In a Dream,” and
Roberts, Henley, Meisner and
Leadon sound quite a bit like
the early Eagles on “Deliver
Me.”
. ,
The cuts from “She Is a
Song” proveto be more rockin’
with Walsh’s stinging slide
guitar work on the Roberts and
Steven Stills and Chris
Hillman-penned tune,’ “It
Doesn’t Matter,” and the
powerful
Roberts’
com
position, “Westwind.”
“The Best of Rick Roberts”
will show that Roberts was a
major talent long before
Firefall became famous.
