Euro Americana Chart

■ "[A] a bracing blast of Southern boogie and Jersey soul
invested with personal pain, pride, and passion. LaSalle's
surprisingly expressive bellow has some of the fervid intensity
of classic Van Morrison. He also puts on a tent revival of a live
show." -- Jim Ridley, Nashville Scene

■ "Nobody Rides For Free is a beautiful album, in a beauty of a
cover, from a musical chameleon who, in a brilliant way, brings
his mash of jazzy, bluesy, twangy, soulful roots rock even to the
album's hidden bonus track. 1/2. Ron Lasalle & the
East Side Rockers are eagerly awaited in Europe!" --Freddy
Celis, Rootstime (Belgium)

■ "On Nobody Rides for Free, Ron LaSalle goes down to the
crossroads. Only instead of bargaining with the devil, he
wrestles him and other personal demons—and emerges
battered but triumphant, his soul intact and his spirit rocking
for the ages. From gutbucket acoustic blues to sweet soul to
Stones-worthy rhythm ‘n’ rock, LaSalle drives with style into the
intersection of blues and rock giants. He proves he belongs in
their company, then blows on down his own road" --Michael
McCall, Nashville Scene

■ "LaSalle's rough, black voice is perfect for this bluesy
collection. . . but it is the ballads that really make the record. . .I
Am Love is an amazing song that, alone, is worth the price of
the album. . .. The steamy Try to Trust Again is a soulful rock
ballad that sounds like a seventies record while the rootsy She
Did Love Me reflects LaSalle's debt to John Hiatt. . .Overall, a
record filled with blues-passion in every note that puts Ron
LaSalle, an outsider by trade, in his own category where roots
music isn't limited by the misused term Americana."
--Fabio Cerbone, RootsHighway (Italy)

■ "Five years after the beautiful debut of the album Too Angry
To Pray, the singer songwriter returns with a disk that's rough
and bluesy but full of richly textured ballads, solidifying its
value. An album that mixes the moods of Van Morrison with the
sounds of Dr. John, passing from soul to gumbo, from rock to
the blues." --Junior Bonner's Choice, Buscadero Magazine
(Italy)

■ "The very sexy, jazzy, bluesy, roots-rock twang-flavored music
that LaSalle produces on the successor to 2001's Too Angry
To Pray is, in large part, an extension of that album. All
delicious stuff. . .authentic Ron LaSalle music with a bright
future. Well done."
--Jan Janssen, Real Roots Café

"This record may
have the soul of
Sunday morning,
but the sound is
Saturday night"
Jim Ridley
Nashville Scene

While Nashville's Ron LaSalle is a veteran of the music business wars, Too Angry To Pray marks
the first full-length release on his new label. Packed with passion, the disc offers up soulful roots
rock that recalls the spirit of golden era Van Morrison, brawny blue-collar twang and even some
Tom Waitsian saloon blues. It's a rousing effort that exposes the heart of a survivor. (Ph-Q

Miles Of Music.

Recorded in 1994 at Garry
Tallent's famed Moondog studio
in Nashville, the album exposes
the realizations of accepting
ourselves at face value and not
worrying about other opinions
about our lives. After all, they are
OUR lives!
Lasalle is the kind of writer who
welcomes a listener into his life
to share his triumphs and his
setbacks. The album opens
with the Stones-fueled "A Girl
Like You", a funny little ditty
co-written with Bob Dylan's
steel guitarist, Bucky Baxter, that
explores the notion of the grass
being greener outside your own
yard. It closes with "Lite Me Up,"
a rollicking number about the
power of true love.
Other highlights include the
haunting Title cut "Gypsy Heart,"
which examines the irony of
surrendering our wicked ways
of loving, only to find that we've
surrendered to someone
exactly like ourselves.

For me He is already
the greatest musical
Discovery of this year!

The snarling tone of
Brent Little's lead
Guitar, a gritty,
twang-drenched sound
that echoes both
Memphis and
Nashville, is
complimented by
LaSalle's voice, a
bleary country drawl
with a touch of urban
blues that makes you
believe every word he
sings.
