Ralph Litwin
"... a wild and crazy new age C&W kind of guy ... also a powerful, energetic vocalist who sounds like he loves performing...spanning a dizzying range of styles." - Dirty Linen
"...social consciousness...good time approach...country boy...jazz enthusiast and banjo whiz...unyielding enthusiasm..." - Sing Out!
"... leaves one with the feeling that we can heal the planet...makes you laugh as you get the message...great sing-alongs...a unique New Age experience." - Heartsong Review
"...unique lyrics and storytelling, punctuated with his offbeat sense of humor." - Outpost Reader
"... an eclectic blend of county, bluegress, calypso, jazz, and western swing...reminiscent of Jimmy Buffet, Bob Willis, and Jerry Jeff Walker, but highly original." - Cash Box (Indie Album Pick)
"...a magician...plays harmonica like you wouldn't believe!" - the late Tiny Moore (of Bob Wills Texas Playboys)
"...a great contribution...a very unique style...combining fingerpicking, strumming and clawhammer...almost like a Mississippi Delta approach to the banjo...a one-man barrier breaker...fascinating..." - Tony Trischka (in Banjo Newsletter)
"...good pickin', real good singin'!" - Utah Phillips
"The music he plays has traveled across the generations...but the attitude is always in vogue -- peace, harmony and the celebration of life as a joyous event." - Out & About
"...a one-man entertainment center!" - Mike Agranoff (Minstrel Coffeehouse)
"...a bunch of fun...Litwin and Company exhibit a good-time attitude in their performance I've rarely encountered." - Acoustic Musician
The Band With a Thousand Names also plays a thousand styles...Dixieland, old-time, ragtime, Delta blues, Western swing, bluegrass, and newgrass all find a home in Litwin's hands, as saxophones, tubas, and clarinets join forces with banjos, Dobros, and mandolins. It's the rare band that can handle romantic stringband waltzes, novelty jazz tunes, and Robbie Robertson songs with equal flair, leaving a unique stamp on all. These vaudevillian frolics are delivered with such sheer joy and exuberance, it reminds you why you like music in the first place." - Dirty Linen
"...a CD by any of a thousand other names might not sound as sweet as this funky and fun mini-tour of the musical world of Ralph Litwin and his versatile cohorts." - Bluegrass Unlimited
