Louder Than The Music

Ohio Country Music Hall of Famer Richard Lynch is set to release his highly anticipated new album, “Pulling Up the Covers,” on July 26th, 2024. This collection is not just a covers album; it is a heartfelt journey through the songs that have defined country music and shaped Lynch’s own life and career. Richard’s cover of the Barry Gibb-penned, Conway Twitty country hit, “Rest Your Love on Me” drops on July 5th.



“Pulling Up the Covers” is an exploration of real country stories told by genuine artists who lived the music they created. For Lynch, these songs hold deep, foundational, even spiritual meaning. Each track on the album has been hand-picked for its unique impact and authenticity, reflecting Lynch’s unwavering dedication to true country music.

“When Richard walked into Beaird Music Group in Nashville with this collection of classics, it was clear that this project was going to be special. Lynch breathes new life into each composition, his warm baritone voice wrapping around every note and lyric. With each verse and every word, listeners can feel a piece of his soul touching their ears.” - Michael Stover, MTS Management Group

The album features unforgettable renditions of songs like Mel Tillis’ “Memory Maker,” Johnny Rodriguez’s “Riding My Thumb to Mexico,” Mark Chestnutt’s “Old Country,” and Buck Owens’ “Made In Japan.” These tracks promise to evoke emotions, from smiles to tears, as Lynch delivers them with his signature authenticity.

Richard Lynch didn’t choose the usual covers; instead, he selected songs that are as unique and memory-inducing as he is.
