Richard Swift was @JessieBaylin musical soul mate and could not have been a kinder soul. There will always be a special place in our hearts and memories for the one and only Walt Wolfman. RIP Swifty

Richard Swift was a great musician but he pretty much peerless when it came to his production work. Everyone I know who worked with him basically made their best album, got creatively reenergized, and had nothing but great things to say about him in the process. RIP.

Richard Swift was a beautiful, powerful wizard. It really hurts that he’s gone.

A sad day in the world of music: the sudden passing of Richard Swift. Great producer, instrumental to so many strong artists, but also a wonderful songwriter himself. Hear his double opus “The Novelist / Walking without effort”. He will be missed and heard for times to come. ❤️
