The Rick Tour: Just In The Rick Of Time

Plus Roe Kapara

Music has always lured Ricky Montgomery back. He has already surpassed one billion global streams thanks to Platinum-selling indie-pop hits “Mr. Loverman” and “Line Without a Hook” . But those songs, written when he was a teenager, have come to feel like they were written by a whole different person—at least to Ricky. So here comes Rick, his first full-length album on Warner Records, a labyrinthine alt-pop
collection of stories about life in all its messy and mundane glory.

Rick is only Montgomery’s sophomore album, but it’s rich with maturity, down to the title itself. Rick is a name the singer always assumed he’d eventually take on—“it seemed more ‘adult,’” he quips—but never had the nerve to. Instead, he embodies the role through a soul-searching mix of electro-laced, emo-tinged tracks that balance sadness and doubt with lightness and levity. Working alongside Grammy-winning vets Dan Wilson and Jeremy Hatcher and Grammynominated producer Tommy English, Montgomery pushes his limits as a songwriter.

Montgomery sees Rick as something of a spiritual sequel to 2016’s Montgomery Ricky—
another self-titled album that isn’t exactly self-titled. “After a couple years of running away from music, I had to re-inhabit all of these old songs I didn’t identify with,” he says. “I had to become ‘Ricky Montgomery The Music Artist’ again. And that’s where I’ve been since 2020. Figuring out how to be that guy. Ultimately, that’s what Rick is all about.”
