This is my pal Ralph's CD. I can say proudly there hasn't been a stylistic straightjacket yet designed thet he can't wiggle out of. There is a pleasure I derive from listening to Ralph. He's as accomplished as he is witty. Every word is perfectly balanced and seemingly effortless. Ralph has a passion for many of the great aural architects of the past such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Lord Buckley and Ken Nordine, but he has more than enough talent to make you forget his influences. He's a stylist whose balance of pieces is deliciously elaborate, fanciful, and simply stated. This CD is truly an aural calling card of warmth that doesn't cut back on smarts or passion.
Enjoy!
