Why the name Ranch Chimp? it was in humour because, science says that humans have similar DNA to a chimpanzee,so I felt some way related biologically to a chimpanzee. 2nd, everytime I was out of Texas on a vacation or for whatever reason I’m always asked things like, do I live on a ranch?,or have cattle? so I commonly call Dallas the Ranch. "Politically Depressed" was also humour inspired by the 1993- 2002 Bill Maher TV/ tele show "Politically Incorrect".

BLACK CROWES: "Hard To Handle", "Jealous Again", "Twice As Hard", & "Stare It Cold"
This induction into the "RCJ Music/ Art's Honour Roll Society" will go to the "Black Crowes" , and of course anyone who know's me, know's of how much I love the vocal work of Chris Robinson (brother of the guitarist Rich), as well as his stage persona/ showmanship ... this guy is a natural and classic when it come's to vocal's in this genre ... which is distinctively Southern Rock, out of suburban Atlanta. But Georgia is actually also a music mecca of this nation and what a great underground music and art's scene Atlanta has, and even Macon (GA) especially (I myself jammed in Underground Atlanta's nightclub's year's back). There is no doubt that alot of influence came from folk's like the Stones and Faces, but these Crowes as a crew since 1989 had laid out quite a bit of influence as well, as well as their work with great icon's such as Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page ... and shared bill's with so many of the classic great's on top of that. A commercial rock band for sure as far as sales is concerned, but root's in R&B, and classic early amplified blues such as other's from that neck of the wood's like Allman Brothers and Wet Willie, that go way deep out of the mainstream as well, but certainly dont need much introduction either worldwide ... these guy's fucken smoke, period! Below 4 "live" choice's from around the world ... Enjoy!
