2.Ricochet is a country band from Oklahoma best known for their #1 hit "Daddy's Money" (1996).
Ricochet emerged in the spring of 1996 to become one of the most successful new country groups, spending the better part of the year in the Top 40 of the country charts. The band formed in 1993, when drummer Jeff Bryant invited singer/guitarist Heath Wright to join his group Lariat, which also featured Bryant's brother Junior (fiddle/mandolin). Lariat disbanded soon after Wright joined, but he and the Bryants decided to try again under the name Ricochet. They held auditions to complete the band, and several members floated through it in the ensuing months. By the beginning of 1994, the final lineup had fallen into place with the addition of Greg Cook (bass, backing vocals), Teddy Carr (steel guitar), and Eddie Kilgallon (keyboards, rhythm guitar, saxophone, backing vocals). For the next two years, Ricochet toured the South and the West Coast, building up a fan base and developing its energetic, edgy neo-traditional sound. They often spent their downtime rehearsing and writing songs.
The group's original manager was friends with record producer Ron Chancey, who was known for his work with the Oak Ridge Boys. Chancey heard the group and arranged for them to cut a demo. He directed the tape to his son Blake, A&R director for Columbia Records in Nashville. After hearing Ricochet live, Blake Chancey and a handful of other Columbia executives decided to sign the band to a development deal under the direction of producer Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Collin Raye). In early 1995, the deal turned into a full-fledged record contract, and during the spring, the group recorded their first album. For the rest year, they toured the country as a supporting act for Merle Haggard, Doug Stone, and Charlie Daniels.
Ricochet's eponymous debut album, produced by Ron Chancey and Ed Seay, was released in early 1996. Preceded by the Top Five hit single "What Do I Know," the album was a hit and stayed on the charts for more than a year as "Daddy's Money" hit number one and "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" reached the Top Ten. The follow-up album, Blink of an Eye, was released the very next year, but it was a commercial disappointment, even though it produced three minor chart singles. Ricochet charted modestly with another three songs in 1998-1999, tracks intended for an album to be called What a Ride that was not released. In the meantime, the band underwent personnel changes. Jeff Bryant, suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, left the drum chair, succeeded by Tim Chewning in August 1999, and Shannon Farmer replaced Teddy Carr on steel guitar. Meanwhile, Richochet retooled its third album, finally releasing it in September 2000 as What You Leave Behind.
3. . (NWOBHM quartet) RICOCHET
The band’s sole release during their life-time was the excellent “Midas Light” 7” single, released in 1980.
The single was recorded at Ginger Studios, Aldridge (where WITCHFINDER GENERAL recorded “Burning A Sinner”), and released as a “double B-side” with the nowhere-near-as-good flip-side, “Off The Rails”.
Just 500 copies of the single were pressed, most of which were sold at their gigs.
Later that year Ricochet toured Germany.
At the end of the tour bassist “The Finn” opted to stay on in Germany.
The other three members returned to England and formed a brand new band called THE CANERS.
“The Finn” went on to form a new band called DAMIEN, who got a German record deal.
Over the years “Midas Light” became a highly regarded classic NWOBHM single, much sought after by collectors.
Ricochet got back together for 2 weeks in 2000 and re-recorded “Midas Light” in a Coventry studio, together with some other tracks.
These tracks were made available on CD through the band’s website, as the six song “Midas Light” mini-album.
However the band members then went their seperate ways again.
In 2005 “The Finn” was managing a music festival in Northampton, where he arranged for Ricochet to make a guest appearance.
They played “Midas Light”, “Dreadnought” and “Off The Rails”, and went down a storm.
In 2010 the band members converged to live on the outskirts of Birmingham, for the first time in 30 years.
After meeting up for a beer it transpired that they all missed the Ricochet times and decided to give it one more throw of the dice.
The revived band have recorded a new single, “The Blue Eyed Beggar & The Teenage Captain”, and are reportedly working on a full length album.
4.A Turkish Lo-Fi/Indie band which had an e.p. called Capt. Ahab . They've released their debut album in May 2010 from Peyote music called "The Burning One" which includes awesome tunes. http://myspace.com/wericochet
5. Detroit hardcore from the early-mid 90s.
6. Rapper from San Diego who has a mixtape titled "A Walk In My Shoes..." available for free download.
7. A german Progressive Rock band from Hamburg http://www.teartown.com
8. A Soca Artist from the Caribbean.
9. Ricochet is one third of the London hip-hop crew Universal Soldiers. He is prone to drop dope multi-syllable rhyming styles and accurate descriptions of inner-city life.
10. An punk band from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
11. New wave / post-punk band from Japan. Released an EP record in 1985 under Zero Records and Toypick.
12. Hard Rock band from Germany.

Blink of an Eye
Ricochet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I felt my heart rate jump
I felt adrenaline pump
The split second that i saw you walk in
A little voice inside
Said "better hold on tight
Get ready set go you're gonna fall again"
How fast is a speeding bullet
How fast can superman fly
How fast does a shooting star
Race across the sky
How fast can a dream come true
All i know is one look at you
And i fell in the blink of an eye.
I felt my temperature burn
I felt the whole world turn
Like gravity was pulling your heart to mine
When you looked at me like that
Quicker than a finger snap
I saw you and me forever in record time
[Chorus]
How fast is a ricochetin' bullet
How fast can superman fly
How fast can a dream come true
All i know is one look at you
And i fell in the blink of an eye
How fast can a dream come true
In the blink of an eye
How fast can i fall for you
In the blink of an eye
The song 'Blink of an Eye' by Ricochet is a beautiful love song that describes the speed and intensity of falling in love. The opening lines, "blink of an eye, I felt my heart rate jump, I felt adrenaline pump," convey the suddenness and intensity of love. The singer describes feeling a rush of emotions when he sees the person he loves walk in, and how his heart races and his temperature rises. He states that he feels as though gravity is pulling his heart towards hers and that he sees a future with her in record time.
The song's chorus asks how fast certain things can happen, such as a speeding bullet or a shooting star, but the only thing the singer knows for sure is that he fell in love with the person in the blink of an eye. The song's final verse repeats the same sentiment, indicating that falling in love can happen quickly without any warning, much like the blink of an eye.
Overall, the song explores the suddenness, intensity, and unpredictability of love. It expresses how easily and quickly one can fall in love and how the process can be almost beyond our control.

Such a fun song, and a cool, funny video! I like how creative country videos were getting in 1997. This should've been a much bigger hit! I love the entire Blink of An Eye album from Ricochet, as well.

I haven't seen this music video in a long time.
@souta95
I don't think I ever saw this music video back in the day... But I did find an autographed picture of the band at Goodwill today, which triggered me to look up some of their music to introduce Ricochet to my wife.

As much as I love the bands from the 90s and their music, being from a family that treated country music as THE only good music to exist, the original lineup of Ricochet and Lonestar are the only two bands I grew up ever remembering more than just the singer. I love all country from its birth to its death with the inclusion of pop music infused "country", and these guys are one of my favourite bands of all time.
