Ricochet is a country music band that rose to fame in the mid-1990s, becoming known for their distinctive harmonies and energetic performances. Formed in 1993 in Oklahoma, the original lineup consisted of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Heath Wright, lead guitarist Eddie Kilgallon, bass guitarist Greg Cook, drummer Jeff Bryant, and keyboardist Teddy Carr. Ricochet quickly gained attention in the country music scene with their blend of traditional country and rock influences, setting them apart from other acts of the time.

Their breakthrough came in 1996 with the release of their self-titled debut album under Columbia Records. The album spawned several hit singles, with the standout track "Daddy's Money" becoming their signature song. "Daddy's Money" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and was a commercial success, solidifying Ricochet's place in the country music industry. The song, with its catchy melody and relatable lyrics about a young man's infatuation with a girl whose charm and beauty overshadow her wealthy background, became a fan favorite and remains one of the most memorable tracks of the 1990s country music era.

In addition to "Daddy's Money," the band's debut album produced other notable singles such as "What Do I Know" and "Love Is Stronger Than Pride," both of which charted in the Top 10 on the country charts. These songs showcased Ricochet's ability to blend heartfelt lyrics with upbeat, toe-tapping rhythms, earning them a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim.

One of the defining features of Ricochet's music is their tight vocal harmonies, which set them apart from many of their contemporaries. This vocal blend became a hallmark of their sound, drawing comparisons to legendary groups like the Eagles. Their ability to harmonize effortlessly was a key factor in their success and contributed to their reputation as a dynamic live act.

Ricochet continued to release music throughout the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, with albums like Blink of an Eye and What a Ride. Although they never quite recaptured the commercial success of their debut, they remained a popular touring band, beloved by fans for their high-energy shows and relatable songs.
