Richard, a native of Nashville, Tennessee has lived in Florida for over twenty years where he continues to be one of the top singer/keyboard artists of the east coast of the Sunshine State. Richard, along with Buzz Cason, Billy Smith, Chester Powers and the late Johnny McCreery formed Nashville’s original rock ‘n roll band, the Casuals in 1956.

The band went on to tour all 50 states and Canada with rock stars of the day including Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, The Big Bopper and ultimately, The Casuals became Brenda Lee’s first full time back up band during the time of her mega hits and for several years thereafter.

The Richard Williams As Usual CD, from ArenA Recordings includes a modern version of the Johnnie Ray classic, “Cry” plus “As Usual”, the Brenda Lee classic, “Keeper Of The Stars” and rockers “Trashy Women” and “Dead Letter”. The latter is a new song as well as the lovely ballad, “The Happiest Day Of My Life”.

Richard’s powerful, yet velvet smooth tones and delivery enhance this new work, recorded in Nashville in 2001 at the historic Creative Workshop Studios in both the analog and digital rooms located there. Truly a treasure of exciting and entertaining music.
