Description

"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

Making up ELLIOTT RUTHER TRIO is Ruther, Joel Cotton, and Marvin Hawkins who first jammed to salute the legacy of Cincinnati's King Records label.

ERT says that rock and roll's next revolution is in order for 10 years and will reach full fervor once all 7 generations of rock and roll become one.

Ruther writes the songs, sings and plays guitar. Internationally and in the States, Marvin Hawkins & Joel Cotton have brought the rhythm of r&b, funk, soul, rock, hip-hop, and jazz for a decade. ERT plots to pay respects to artists in their abodes of creation. To date, respects are being paid to Tiny Bradshaw, Little Willie John, Hank Ballard, Lonnie Johnson and Wynonie Harris in Cincinnati. In St. Louis, Chuck Berry.

Elliott Ruther's debut album, ROCK-N-ROLL CONCEIVED (2005 on Brown Room Records), features Hawkins (Marvin & The Experience), Cotton (Uplift I), Bob Gayol (of The Virgins, formerly of MOTH), Dan Allaire (touring with Brian Jonestown Massacre), Susie Pepper, & Thom Schaffner (St. Louis).
