“My Father, James Riddle and Ricky Riddle were inseparable in the day, often times passing themselves off as brothers, when in fact they were actually cousins. I remember Ricky visiting our family often in Florida, when I was a child, I always called him; Uncle Ricky. When I was Three years old, I recall Ricky teaching me to write my name. I will always treasure the memories that I have of “Uncle” Ricky. Danny Riddle
Ricky Riddle was an Arkansas-born, Detroit-bred vocalist who gravitated to the western side of country music. In January 1950, Riddle’s first commercial recording appeared as the premier issue of the Tennessee label for which he had several more releases before the label closed. Riddle then moved on to record for Coral Records, MGM Records and Decca Records. During the 1950s, while living in Nashville, Riddle performed as a regular guest at the Renfro Valley Barn Dance in Kentucky, and as a guest on the Grand Ole Opry. Around 1968 Riddle settled in Arizona for a spell. There he recorded the finest vocal performances of his career for the Rio Grande label, based in Glendale. The single release “Don’t You Worry” has a great honky-tonk style and Rick and his band are top-notch, delivering punchy performances with quality production and arrangements, including a stellar steel guitarist.
