"Craggy but literary country blues like Jerry Lee Lewis if he were a beat poet or Townes Van Zandt with a Ph.D."

"His latest is Valentine Roadkill and it purrs like an old Chevy that just got the hell tuned out of it. Elliott lives in Tampa and is one of those unpretentious fellows who plants his two feet on the ground and serves up that three-chords-and-the-truth thing that anybody who loves real music will respond to. His sound is a mix of country, folk and blues where the colors bleed together and are always ragged around the edges."

"He was insurgent country before insurgent country was cool."

"If the opening Huey P Meaux inspired Valentino's Dream - a weary American romantic's disillusionment with the modern world that features a mournful blues sax break - was the only cut here, it would be still worth the full price. Consider the further 12 tracks a bonus from God then."

"Ronny Elliott was playing country rock before there was country rock."

"Half the songwriters in Nashville would sell their mother's soul for even one of the songs that Elliott seems to toss around like peanut shells."
