Editorial Reviews

Ralph Covert's debut Disney Sound Label CD, "Ralph's World" is a high energetic ride through multiple musical genres; rock, country, folk, lullaby, and even disco! The great majority of the music is written by Covert, with very few traditional songs used. Covert's enthusiastic vocals are emphasized primarily by his guitar and the children who sing along on most of the tracks. Other instruments to listen for include the bass, banjo, harmonica, trumpet, accordion, woodblock, and whistle. This is a great playtime song or for sing-alongs in the car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Kid's Music for Parents Too!, July 25, 2008

Ralph Rocks! He's a successful rock & roller (see The Bad Examples), who with the birth of his daughter began creating music for children. Unlike so many in the genre, Ralph does not dumb down the music - you'll find sounds of rock, pop, folk, country, and even surf sounds, tied to infectious fun lyrics for kids. There are familiar tunes mixed with clever originals. Ralph's effort allows both parents and children alike to enjoy his music.

Given the choice, our daughters nearly always opt to listen to Ralph, and as their parents, we are forever thankful. As an added bonus, for those with daughters, on this album you will find the gem "Bedtime Girl" which will melt your hearts.

Finally, if you ever have the opportunity to share a live show of Ralph's World with your children, do it! He is even better in a live venue, check it out!

My husband and I really like music, but when we had our son we started listening to more kids' crap than our own music. This album is fun, catchy, and best-of-all, we ALL enjoy listening to it. It's a nice alternative to some of the other children music we've had to endure!

This review is from: Ralph's World (Audio CD)

I have a toddler son and have purchased a lot of kids music. Candidly, most of the dreck marketed as kid's music is from people with little musical, vocal and songwriting ability. It is painful to listen to, like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears -- repeat listenings can only compared to water torture. As a former musician and the son of a music teacher, I really love music -- so it's tough for me to settle for horrible music for my son. That is exactly why I am so appreciative of Ralph's World.

Ralph's World, the product of Ralph Covert and band, is completely on the other end of the spectrum. It's well written, well performed and even enjoyable for adults. I was playing in some of same midwest clubs and colleges as Ralph and his band the Bad Examples back in the 1980's/early 1990's, and I was always impressed by Ralph's songwriting and performance abilities. His style is definitely routed in the Beatles / Squeeze / Crowded House school of songwriting and performance and he is a talented songwriter. The great thing is, he's brought these talents and quality to kid's music. My 3 year old son loves Ralph's World music and we have just about everything he's put out. Even better, I enjoy listening to Ralph's World with my son and wife and we all sing along. I've recommended Ralph's World music to numerous friends with similar aged children and just about everyone ends up a fan.

Finally, we just caught our first Ralph's World concert a week ago and it was a blast. Highly recommended.
