The Music
Dwight
The long-awaited followup to Umpteen is here. Dwight, short for "da white boy" was named for the affectionate moniker given to Ross during his days with legendary Memphis bassist Duck Dunn's band. More info to come. Click here for lyrics. Click here to order.
 Umpteen
One
of the greatest albums you probably don't own.
It's one of those rare recordings that not only
gets better with each listen but also never wears
out. Creative lyrics, clever arrangements and
chording, power-packed rhythm and singalong choruses
abound. This 1997 effort had a little help from
Brad Jones, and two tunes, "Dig Down Deep" and "Miss July," are featured on
his 1995 CD "Gilt Flake." Order "Umpteen" now
from the good people at Djangos.com.

Demos for the Double Noughts
These four tracks represent some of Ross's
latest demos and were available at mp3.com until
it went bust. So now they're here:
Mr. Anti-Sunshine (.mpga file)
Beautiful Ghost (.mpga file)
Hard
Times for the Revolution (.mp3)
Love n' Madness (.mp3)
 Human
Radio
Ross's band from the late 80's/early 90's.
Another masterpiece record that improves with
repeated listening. Some may find the 1990
production values a bit dated, but the songs
stand up regardless of presentation. See
if the fine folks at Gemm can track you down a copy.
Human Radio II
Most people don't know that the band made a
second record that was never released. Our
friend Mark was kind enough to make
some mp3's for us. He even took a stab at
transcribing the lyrics. He also gave us the "Me and Elvis" video
on mpeg.
