Ronny Elliott

Craggy but literary country blues like Jerry Lee Lewis if he were a beat poet or Townes Van Zandt with a Ph.D. - MOJO

Ronny Elliott should be among the first to be inducted into an Americana Hall Of Fame. - John Conquest

A man with a voice like oil and sand and gold and mud. He's in his late fifties now and just gets better by the year. His music aches, yearns, rolls and burns. On stage, meanwhile, the ol' velvet rambler could hold you in thrall just spinning tales. - British Magazine

Elliott is one of the great artists to be found in the margins of the alt-country scene. - Dirty Linen

He's made another masterpiece record. - Rolling Stone

This is the kind of record that defines an entire career. - Fresh Air

A voice like Johnny Cash without gravitas and songs like John Prine without whimsy. A - Entertainment Weekly

Half the writers in Nashville would sell their mother's soul for even one of the songs that Elliott seems to toss around like peanut shells. - Billings Gazette

Here's another album by one of the free world's most unjustly overlooked songwriters. As usual, this Tampa, Florida roots-rocker fills the disc with wonderful story songs dealing with his heroes, a few villains and objects of his lust.

If you've never had the pleasure of hearing Ronny Elliott, this album is a good one to start with. But like the opium he sings about in "Brothels In China,"it is addictive. - Santa Fe New Mexican
