(Tot Rock) Ralph's World March 24, 2012

Ralph's World is the mega-fun musical planet where kids rock rock rock and dance dance dance to their own and their parents' delight. It's the creation of Ralph Covert: indie rocker, songwriter, playwright, and children's book author. He's taken the same high-energy and super-melodic sense that he developed for his touring pop-rock band to kid's music.

His current compact disc, "All Around Ralph's World" was released by Bar/None Records. The are eight other currently-available compact discs of Ralph's World music on Disney Sound (Ralph's World, At the Bottom of the Sea,, Happy Lemons, Peggy's Pie Parlor, The Amazing Adventures of Kid Astro, the Grammy-nominated Green Gorilla, Monster & Me, Disney Sound CD/DVD debut, Welcome To Ralph's World, and 2008's The Rhyming Circus), and the award-winning Say Hello DVD (Parenting Magazine's 2003 Video of the Year). The Chicago-based artist was noted by The New York Times in a front page story of the Arts section thusly: "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's national media appearances for Ralph's World include NPR's All Things Considered, ABC World News Tonight, The CBS Morning Show, and XM Kids Radio New Year's Eve broadcast. His praise in print nationally includes Newsweek, Time, The Christian Science Monitor, Time, People and Parade. His songwriting and vocals have been used in several independent films here and in Europe, most notably the acclaimed Dutch feature De Jurk ("The Dress") for which he received Holland's equivalent of an Oscar TM for his original song "The Black Rose of Texas." His Ralph's World tune, "Just Like The Monkeys," was used for a pre-eminent retailer's back-to-school campaign and he created a song, "The Box Of Fun" for Kellogg's and in 2010 he's revamped Huggies' Pull-Ups song "Do The Potty Dance" and seemingly made it into a hit.
