	CMT.com : Rick Nelson : Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rick Nelson was one of the very biggest of the '50s teen idols, so it took awhile for him to attain the same level of critical respectability as other early rock greats.
		Nelson was lured away from the Imperial label by a mammoth 20-year contract with Decca in 1963 (which would be terminated prematurely in the mid-'70s), and for a year or so the hits continued, at a less frenetic pace.
		Nelson would continue to record off and on for the next dozen years and toured constantly, yet he was unable to capitalize on his assets.

	WWW RAB / Ricky Nelson
		Rick had always enjoyed country music and although he was never regarded as a country singer, much of his early success had strong country connections.
		Nelson clearly wanted to develop - he dropped the "y" from his Christian name in 1961 - but he was rapidly becoming a has-been as rock'n'roll moved into its high-school phase where pizzicato strings, gimmicky arrangements and emotions were endlessly provided by a series of fabricated teen idols.
		As his career had taken an upturn, Nelson had carefully kept himself apart from the growing band of rock'n'roll revivalists who in the uncertain years of the early seventies were trading on the memories and growing sense of nostalgia of their audience.

		Rick's 1967 and 1968 albums, actually recorded back-to-back, were an odd departure from anything he'd ever done before, and a questionable move after the success of his 2 country albums just before.
		I would recommend it to '60's music fans as well as to Nelson fans (who actually might be the ones to dislike it as the albums are such a radical departure from the rest of his work).
		Rick Nelson was a sadly underrated talent, but hopefully with the reissues and the recent VH1 movie, he'll finally receive his just due.

	DVD.net : A Tribute to Rick Nelson - DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Already a familiar face to American television audiences as the son of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, young Ricky was an extremely good looking boy-next-door type who all parents long to raise and countless women wanted to 'date'.
		Unlike Elvis Presley, his main 'pretty-boy' rival, Nelson had access to millions each week by keeping up his appearances on his parents' show, and as any performer will tell you, the key to longevity, apart from talent and variety, is exposure.
		Nelson's songs are either bordering on rockabilly or the typical '50s teenage love songs.

	Rick Nelson Figurations
		Rick, Chris, and Steve don't consciously imitate any of these but they certainly bring the same kind of disciplined listening and group interplay to their work.
		Nelson's Figurations proves once again the inexhaustibility of the blues with its angular lines and three-way scoring making this a most intriguing composition.
		Due Respect, another Nelson original, begins with a quietly intense samba-styled vamp counterpointed by a wash of sound, all of which lends a certain air of mystery to the proceedings, and moves into a sinuous melodic line further developed by the soloists.
