BLUES in ROCK


New CD "Under the Blues Sky", contains 8 new tracks. Ron moves closer to his rock influence and closer to Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons and JJ Cale styles.

In CD "Alibis", Ron takes you on a journey thru relationship hard times. In his blues, Ron has a philosophy that will always leave you in a better place. Ron loves the blues, but no dusty blues from Ron. He keeps it fresh. Ron will tell the truth in his music. Great harmonica by Rick Peer. Cool Rolling Keyboards by Rick Symmonds. Great in-the-pocket drums by Dave Jarman.
8 Tracks, 8 days in someone's life. 

Ron's lead guitar is similar to Eric Clapton. Ron never imitates any player but always plays from his own inspiration. Ron is not strictly foundation Blues. Ron interprets the blues into something a bit different and new sounding.   

The latest is a solo work called "Alibis." Ron does all guitars, bass and vocals. It's fresh Blues in Rock at its best.

You can find Ron's country songs thru these sites. Ron has dedicated himself to the blues, but still offers great country music written a several years ago in Ron's desire to become recognized as a songwriter. These country songs are fresh and great sounding.
