The Robert Ross Band

I have uploaded 9 songs on BandCamp.com ready for you to download. Now's a good time for you to get one or two of these great recordings, some brand new, others have stood the test of time. Also, tell your friends about these great recordings!! Check it out: RobertRoss1.BandCamp.com

ROBERT ROSS ON BANDCAMP
All of these songs are available for download on BandCamp for a pretty low price. If you go to RobertRoss1.BandCamp.com you can check out how each track sounds before buying them for a buck or two or three. You can leave extra too if you feel magnanimous. Wink wink. There's some gospel, and some rock 'n' roll in addition to plenty of blues uploaded on BandCamp. I will be adding additional recordings every once in a while so check every 2 or 3 weeks or so. Here's what is there as of this writing:

WE ARE ONE is a Ross original gospel song about peace, love, and hope. It was written to remind people that war is usually NOT the answer. It was originally released on Fountainbleu Records in 2004 along with 3 other songs on an EP entitled What Are We Fighting For? Ross’ original song features Robert on vocals & guitars; Mark Dann on bass; Jon Loyd on keyboards & vocal background; and Phil Cimino on drums. Check it out here: https://robertross1.bandcamp.com/track/we-are-one?from=fanpub_fnb_trk

BADA BING is an original rocking blues song that has a catchy chorus that is a lot of fun to sing along to. It also has some funny lyrics about gangsters & mobsters. It was never released but I'm getting tired of waiting so here goes. Ross’ original song features Robert on vocals & guitars; Mark Dann on bass; Jon Loyd on keyboards & vocal background; and Phil Cimino or Dan Hickey on drums. Check it out here: https://robertross1.bandcamp.com/track/bada-bing?from=fanpub_fnb_trk

IF I HAD KNOWN got a lot of airplay in the NY & NJ area when it came out originally in 1991 on Rockin' The Rails, take a listen and see why. It was rereleased in 2002 on Sleight Of Hand on  Fountainbleu. George Morales and Charlie Torres work their magic on drums and bass. Check it out here: https://robertross1.bandcamp.com/track/If-I-Had-Known

IT HURTS ME TOO is probably the best slide playing the Robert Ross Band ever recorded, and the vocal ain't bad either. The track was released on Rockin' The Rails on Blue Planet Records in 1991 and re-released on Sleight Of Hand on Fountainbleu in 2002. George Morales on drums, and Charlie Torres on bass also kick ass. Check it out here: https://robertross1.bandcamp.com/track/it-hurts-me-too

FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD: Robert Ross with The Billy Troiani Band just released this Bobby Blue Band song on BandCamp. “If you like nasty shuffles, this is it, and you’ve never heard this unreleased live recording from Norway. Ian Fredrick Johannessen and Robert Ross trade guitar solos in the middle and raise the roof while Billy T on bass; and Alex Petersen on drums are the perpetual and soulful groove machine.” Check it out here:https://robertross1.bandcamp.com/track/further-on-up-the-road?from=fanpub_fnb_trk.

69 CHEVY: The Robert Ross Band just released this original tune on BandCamp. “69 Chevy is a full tilt, rockin' blues shuffle right out of New York City. High energy uptempo explosion.” Ross’ original song features George Morales on drums; Charlie Torres on bass; and Robert Ross on vocals and guitars. Check it out here: https://robertross1.bandcamp.com/track/69-chevy?from=fanpub_fnb_trk.

GO DOWN MOSES: Go Down Moses will be officially released along with several other gospel songs in 2025, but why wait? This music is too good to dilly dally any longer, so get it early while you can. Mike Boone on acoustic bass, Jim Holton on piano, and Robert Ross on vocals & guitar. The Gospel Project features traditional gospel songs recorded separately by Robert Ross of Florida (formerly of New York City); & by Linda Klein of Baltimore. The cover art for the new release has not been finalized yet.” Check it out here: https://robertross1.bandcamp.com/track/go-down-moses?from=fanpub_fnb_trk

AIN’T GONNA LET NOBODY TURN ME ROUND
According to Wikipedia, “Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round" is a freedom song based on the spiritual "Don't You Let Nobody Turn You Round" and became an American civil rights era anthem. It was sung during demonstrations for civil rights in the United States including during the Memphis sanitation worker strike in 1967." It is public domain. Robert Ross on vocals and lead guitar; Ha Heon Jin on rhythm guitar; and Mike Boone on acoustic bass.

AVE MARIA is not usually the kind of material blues, rock, and jazz guitarists are attracted to but this song is way too beautiful to ignore. My friend and producer Rafael Alvarez suggested that I record this piece as an instrumental on slide guitar so with his help and with the help of my other good friend and producer Larry Hambrecht, I did. Jim Holton on piano, and Mike Boone on acoustic bass. friend and producer Larry Hambrecht, I did.” Jim Holton on piano; and Mike Boone on acoustic bass.
