Ricochet is the eighth and final studio album by Australian band Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons. It is the first studio album from the band in over 20 years. The album featured the "classic" line-up of the Falcons: Joe Camilleri on vocals and sax, Jeff Burstin on guitar, Tony Faeshe on guitar, Wilbur Wilde on sax, John Power on bass, and Gary Young on drums.[2] Ricochet was released in September 2003.[3] The album was supported with a national tour in early 2004.[4]

Reception

Hector from HMV said "Ricochet is bluesy, dirty R&B paying homage to Joe Camilleri's early influences. The man can write a hook in his sleep but this isn't about capturing the charts once more. This is about musicians being true to their craft and acting their age. That in mind, take Ricochet for the new music it is and Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons for what they are now." He also described the album as "low-key" and added, "There's nothing too hard to have to think about here. Simply enjoy."[5]
