Just Rick’s “Long As I’m Willin'” is a sunny slice of Americana that’ll have you tapping your feet and grinning from ear to ear. This track is all about the joy of keeping a good vibe going, no matter what life throws at you. Rick’s upbeat, optimistic outlook shines through as he sings, “I can’t wait to enjoy this world I live in” — and you believe him. He’s the kind of guy who never complains, always content, and as he puts it, “as long as I’m willing, I’ll always keep chilling along.”
What makes this song even more fun are the clever breaks where Rick throws in some nightly news lingo: “Here’s some breaking news” and “This just in…” — but instead of reporting doom and gloom, he’s broadcasting his own feel-good philosophy. His message? “I know most people are good, so I treat them the way that I should.” It’s a mantra of kindness, wrapped up in a catchy tune that blends rock, country, and a dash of reggae for good measure.
Hailing from Hendersonville, North Carolina, Just Rick brings a lifetime of musical experience to this track. From his early days drumming and strumming in upstate New York to his time in the Midwest with bands like Identity Crisis and IC3, Rick’s journey has led him to this sweet spot where he’s just himself — and we’re all the better for it. “Long As I’m Willin'” is a feel-good anthem for anyone looking to keep their spirits high and their heart light.
