Southern Fried Magazine.com Ragged Jack - Bruce Wall Posted byadmin on Tuesday, May 01 @ 00:00:00 EDT Contributed by adminThis Editorial was a last minute decision, so please bear with me. Have you ever went in to a store for something specific and found all kinds of really cool stuff you were not originally looking for? Well, that is kind of what happened to me Friday night here in Nashville. Originally, I went to a little venue called 3rd and Lindsley to see and hang out with good friends George McCorkle and Rick Broyles. What I got was a kick ass evening of live Southern Rock. Several notable folks were hangin' in the audience including Donnie Winters (Winters Brothers Band). Now I had heard Lyman Ellerman at a writers night a few weeks back and was impressed with his writing skills. However, when Ragged Jack took the stage and played the songs the way they were meant to be played I was completely won over.All I have to say is Southern Rock is alive and well and you can find here in Nashville... After a truly amazing set, Lyman brought George McCorkle up on stage for a couple of songs. They kicked it off with George's Blues shuffle called "Across the River". They immediately had the audience eating out of their hands. A true southern rock style Jam!! Next, they went into "Rocket Shoes" from George's American Street CD. Every gal in the place was on their feet dancing. They then went quickly into George's hit "Fire on the Mountain" and finished up with "Can't you See". The Crowd was on their feet and clapped and cheered till their hands bled. Lyman and Ragged Jack GREAT SHOW! My hats off to ya, I will be sure to come see ya'all every chance I get. Do yourself a favor check em out!

Southern Rock IS NOT DEAD! Ragged Jack is the future! Look 4 IT Reviewer: WQNA Radio "Big Music Show" : Ray Von Skynyrd, Tucker, and the Allmans all have to patch together a band to put on the road to try and keep Southern Rock alive. No longer, the future is HERE! I'm an indie DJ, on an indie station. I play what I want, not what I'm told, and I CHOOSE to play this Ragged Jack CD; on the air and off. Every cut is worthy of air-play. All the members are true craftsmen with real talent, who love what they do, and work to perfect their product; be it a CD, or a live show. Catch them if you can!-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- Here's somebody who thinks like me and writes to me. I feel it! Reviewer: WQNA RADIO: Ray Von Lyman Ellerman has the heart and soul of a simple man, and the God-given gift to to put that simple life down in words and music. He writes a beautiful picture that turns into a music video in my head. Again, I play his songs on my station because I like them. You will too.-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- Fantastic music!!!! Reviewer: A fan I enjoy every song on this CD.This is great music!!!<

Musically speaking, I've always found personally that the great writers likewise connected with a sound that wasn't necessarily mainstream, but made their lyrics breathe and come alive. I particularly dug Skynyrd, Dylan, Waylon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bad Company, Hank Jr., Hank Sr., The Outlaws, & Johnny Cash.All these greats usually had something to say, but could also rock freely. Salute to them!!!!!!!CHECK OUT LYMAN'S SITE www.myspace.com/lymanellerman
