About Us
Hi, I’m Rick Warson, the founder of Roll The Record. For over 18 years, music hasn’t just been a hobby for me, it’s been a deep passion. I’ve explored sound at over 40 music festivals and built a personal collection of vinyl that tells countless stories.
Roll The Record is my way of sharing that passion. Here, I write about discovering, understanding, and simply enjoying good music. We explore everything from the tactile joy of vinyl to immersive 3D sound experiences, and from the energy of Pop and Techno to the nuances of countless other genres.
Whether it’s groovy or gentle, vocal or instrumental, there’s always something new to find and appreciate.
