Chad Richard's latest album, Worthy Cause, is a soulful and heartfelt collection of songs that showcase his unique blend of country, folk, and blues. The Louisiana-based singer-songwriter has a way of weaving together intricate stories that are both personal and universal, drawing listeners in with his rich, warm vocals and evocative lyrics.
From the opening track, "Slow Rollin' Train," to the closing ballad, "Without You," Worthy Cause takes listeners on a journey through the ups and downs of life, touching on themes of love, loss, and redemption. Richard's songwriting is at its best on tracks like "Right Now," a catchy and upbeat tune that celebrates living in the moment, and "Worthy Cause," a poignant ode to those who have sacrificed for a greater good.
Musically, Worthy Cause is a masterclass in Americana, with Richard's acoustic guitar and harmonica backed by a talented band of musicians who add layers of depth and soul to each track. Standout moments include the bluesy guitar solo on "Last One to Leave," the haunting fiddle on "Slow Rollin' Train," and the gospel-tinged harmonies on "Worthy Cause."
