I really like Ric Zweig’s story – he had a lengthy career as a Prosecutor, Criminal Defense Attorney, and Circuit Court Judge in the Miami, Florida region. Once he retired from his career, he returned to music. Over the last decade or so, he has released 5 albums that are imbued with a sense of the South Florida life. Breezy, catchy tunes abound. Box is a song that was written 15 years ago by Oski Gonzalez and one that Ric had always wanted to cut. The song revels in a laid-back atmosphere, perfectly suited to Ric’s strengths as a performer. Lyrically, it rejects the notion of today’s technology trappings – celebrating the simple life. There’s a twist in those words, if you pay attention closely. Love the emotive guitar solo in this recording as well. A welcome return.
You can follow Ric here. Check out his latest song and video, you won’t regret it.
