Richard Lynch: A Man Of Few Words Finds His Place Among Jones, Strait And Whitley

Traditional country artist Richard Lynch hails from a small town in Ohio, but his career is looking larger than life these days.  With several chart-topping singles, including duets with Grammy winning bluegrass legend, Rhonda Vincent and country star, Ronnie McDowell; a TV and Radio show, “Traditionally Lynch;” legions of fans, and his Love Tattoo Foundation for veterans, Richard is poised to be today’s version of yesterday’s country crooners like George Jones, Keith Whitley and the King, George Strait.  Lynch took time out from his extremely busy schedule, to share a few words about his life, career and what’s next for his music.
