RALPH COVeRT & The BAD EXaMPLeS
Kisses 50¢
CD $10
The latest studio album from Chicago's most consistently popular live act. Eleven songs recorded at Idful Music by engineer Casey Rice and produced by The Bad Examples. This album has the feel of a concert performance - direct, passionate, "crackling noises o.k. do not correct." Ralph Covert's lead vocals are now complemented by lead guitarist Steve Gerlach's harmonies. On eight of the songs it's just the band.

Joining them on "Every Poet Wants To Murder Shakespeare" is violinist John Rice, who also added some incidental sitar to "Trying To Prove The Earth Is Flat." Perhaps the most aggressive song the band has ever cut, "Beautiful Bonfire," is heated up even more by Craig Miller's blazing harmonica. All of these Covert originals have been played before thousands of people in the last year in concert and on their many radio appearances.
