Ralph’s World November 20, 2010

Zooglobble Recommended!: "I've seen lots of kids musicians - Ralph's World rocks with the best of them. So many great songs..."



These days there may be lots of rockers making kid-friendly records, but there's only one Ralph Covert, an irrepressibly enthusiastic performer who rocks just as hard for kids as he does for grown-ups. Perma-grin on his face, lime-green Chuck Taylors on his feet-even at the Grammies! -his traveling circus of catchiness known as Ralph's World is equally loved by cool-seeking parents as it is by children, fortunate to be living in an era where their music both rocks and respects their intelligence and curiosity.

Look no further than The New York Times, which said, in a front-page Arts section story, "It is possible that Mr. Covert will turn out to be [the] genre's Elvis Presley, or at the very least its Elvis Costello."

Covert is the ringmaster of a packed tent of creativity, even beyond Ralph's World. He's an award-winning playwright, has written books (including the circus-themed Sawdust and Spangles), and music for adult theatrical dramas and children's musicals. He also still plays gigs with his grown-up rock outfit, The Bad Examples - to say nothing of the Ralph's World videos that put his winning personality into family rooms worldwide. Given all that, it's no wonder that Disney sought out the indefatigable performer for its Disney Sound label, which is releasing ‘The Rhyming Circus,' Ralph's World's latest.
