 What The Experts Are Saying About The Robert Ross Band

"A blues icon. One of the great blues spirits." Bob Fass (Radio Un-nameable, WBAI-FM Pacifica Network)

"He's so fast, lightning would have to get on roller skates to catch him." Albert King, reported by Hank Reineke (East Coast Rocker)

"HOT!!"Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin guitarist) reported by Pablo Guzman (NY Daily News).

"Okay, pay attention: Robert Ross is the real thing … some of the hottest blues you're likely to hear anywhere … vital and vibrant … a true showman ... inventiveness … original material is outstanding ... Imagination, speed, dexterity and flash ... fine sensitivity ... spectacular guitar work. Beautiful, ringing tones … almost torn from his axe in his own 'White Boy Lost In The Blues' … And you can hear it in the unique, rough edged tones of his fluid voice as well. The Robert Ross Band … catch them before some record company realizes just how much they've got to offer.” Jennifer Shields, Musicians' Exchange

"Robert Ross is one of the most impressive young blues men around." David Hinckley (NY Daily News)

"Ross could make 'God Bless America' stand on its head and rock ... an imaginative writer with files of Twilight Zone tales ... soulful, vigorous guitar ... agile cat quick licks …the bluesman wailed, his voice rough and pliant and booming … most wonderful." Rafael Alvarez (Guitar World, Baltimore Sun, HBO's The Wire)

"Nice stuff! You're doing the right stuff. You're the new Bob Dylan. I really like that! It's really great!" Tom "Bones" Malone (David Letterman Show, Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Live)

"Robert Ross is a fine singer, a snappy lyricist, and an even better blues rock guitarist ... cut from the same cloth as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Johnny Winter … dazzling guitar … Time after time Ross delivers the goods." Bill Carlton (NY Daily News)
