"Return to Blues: Local West Texas Talent"

February 15, 2008
"Blues is just something we know about in West Texas," says Rico Enriquez, guitarist/singer of local rock band, Return to Blues. "We just wanted to create music that we know makes people move...It is a classic blues rock sound that you don't hear too often these days. We also add a little latin flavor to the style as well." Enriquez has been playing guitar most of his life he says and always wanted to produce a cd of his own. He didn't expect the surge of plays on myspace and phenomenal sales on iTunes. "Making money was really not our goal...and it still isn't. We're all about the music. The band also includes, Jerome Luera on keyboards, Michael Aguero on bass, and Oscar Garcia on drums. The band plans to tour extensively in Texas and New Mexico with several appearances locally within the Midland and Odessa. - Midland Reporter Telegram
