Rich extends the style on his just-released debut album, “The Tony Rich Project,” which breaks the mold with more spare production and melodies influenced by rock, as well as R & B.

The third solo recording by this multi-talented instrumentalist has arrived after he'd searched long and hard for a new creative path following Words, his debut album in 1995.

While you may not necessarily know him by name, if you were a fan of '90s R&B, you would know Nobody Knows by The Tony Rich Project.
