12 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Classic Rock, ROCK: Punk
Details:
ELLIOTT RUTHER TRIO''s distinct but familar sound may be best summed up by the artists disc jockeys and music critics have compared Ruther''s sound to: Howlin'' Wolf, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Violent Femmes, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Guided By Voices and Frank Zappa.
Hailing from the Queen City, just north of the Mason-Dixon line, where James Brown and Hank Williams recorded their first big hits, and where Elvis Presley picked-up songs from Cincinnati''s legendary King Records label and recorded them for his Sun debut, comes ELLIOTT RUTHER TRIO. Headlining juke joints and the college circuit, and opening for Violent Femmes and 22-20s (England), ELLIOTT RUTHER TRIO''s punk, blues, country and old school rock and roll jams are winning fans young and noble.
Elliott Ruther, Joel Cotton, and Marvin Hawkins first jammed to salute the legacy of Cincinnati''s King Records and have been brewing their eclectic stylings ever since. On a mission to commune with the pillars of rock and roll, Ruther''s song, "Rock-N-Roll Conceived (in Cincinnati)" was featured in a MidPoint Music Festival national campaign to reclaim Cincinnati''s rock and roll birthrights.
Elliott Ruther''s debut album, ROCK-N-ROLL CONCEIVED (2005 on Brown Room Records), features triomates Marvin Hawkins (Marvin & The Experience) and Joel Cotton (Uplift I), as well as producer Bob Gayol (The Virgins, formerly MOTH), Dan Allaire (touring with Brian Jonestown Massacre), Susie Pepper, & Thom Schaffner (St. Louis).
"Annie''s baby had a baby, now yer gonna see."

"From Punk, Rock, Folk and Funk to politics and religion, Elliott Ruther''s new CD is a spirited, memorable debut"
--(Cincinnati) CityBeat, Sean Rhiney, 5/4/5
"Wouldn''t you rather be where rock ''n'' roll was conceived?" sings Ruther amid lyrics that reference a laundry list of those names and songs - from "Train Kept a Rollin'' " to Bootsy Collins - that were Cincinnati''s contribution to the rock landscape."
--(Cincinnati) Chris Varias, The Cincinnati Enquirer, 4/22/5
"a very accomplished collection of Ruther''s well-crafted Blues- and Roots-inflected Rock songs"
--(Cincinnati) Mike Breen, CityBeat, 4/23/5
"Literally, rock ''n'' roll conceived."
--(Cincinnati) Christine MacConnell, CiN Weekly, 4/20/5
"Ruther''s voice, a rapid-fire Neil Young style, evokes old school folk set on a rocket launcher. His clever lyrics are armed with poetic humor, and his songs are reminiscent of early funk - the dynamics are hard to pin down. Or up."
--(Cincinnati) Christine MacConnell, CiN Weekly, 4/20/5
"Ruther''s "Rock-in-Roll Conceived" flashes a gritty, loud, in-your-face sound with his mostly acoustic trio, proving that it isn''t written anywhere that unplugged music has to be quiet music."
--(Cincinnati) Rick Bird, The Cincinnati Post, 4/21/5
"The Violent Femmes fronted by a soulful Bob Dylan"
--(Cincinnati) Sean Rhiney, CityBeat, 5/4/5
"The centerpiece for the album is Ruther''s "Rock-n-Roll Conceived in Cincinnati," a heartfelt salute to the legacy of King Records with such lyrics as "Give me that Brown backbeat/ Give me dat Delmore Dance/ Bring me that Ballard bang/ Send me to Ron Isley''s trance," referencing artists that recorded here from James Brown and the Isley Brothers to the Delmore Brothers and Hank Ballard."
--(Cincinnati) Rick Bird, The Cincinnati Post, 4/21/5
"Elliott Ruther''s obsession with King Records and the other howling sounds of Cincinnati''s yesteryear reverberates in his song "Rock-N-Roll Conceived."
--(Cincinnati) Chris Varias, The Cincinnati Enquirer, 4/22/5
(on the unlisted track) "''Upon Reading the Minutes of the SORTA Board,'' an intense burst of old-school, bleeding-raw Punk that''s actually about something (just like the good ol'' days)."
--(Cincinnati) Mike Breen, CityBeat, 1/6/5
