InfluencesVan Morrison, Dylan, Tom Waits, Muddy Waters .John Lee Hooker, too many to mention
Sounds Like“On Nobody Rides for Free, Ron LaSalle goes down to the crossroads. Only instead of bargaining with the devil, he wrestles him and other personal demons—and emerges battered but triumphant, his soul intact and his spirit rocking for the ages. From gutbucket acoustic blues to sweet soul to Stones-worthy rhythm ‘n’ rock, LaSalle drives with style into the intersection of blues and rock giants. He proves he belongs in their company, then blows on down his own road.”

--Michael McCall, Nashville Scene

While Nashville's Ron LaSalle is a veteran of the music business wars, Too Angry To Pray marks the first full-length release on his new label. Packed with passion, the disc offers up soulful roots rock that recalls the spirit of golden era Van Morrison, brawny blue-collar twang and even some Tom Waitsian saloon blues. It's a rousing effort that exposes the heart of a survivor. (Ph-Q Records)

Order Nobody Rides For Free Today

RON LASALLE AND THE EAST SIDE ROCKERS _ Raw white soul has been given a bad name by Bolton belters and Cocker copycats. But on his new album Too Angry To Pray, Nashville singer/songwriter/producer Ron LaSalle returns to the proud, hard-edged tradition of Mitch Ryder, Southside Johnny, and mid-‘70s Graham Parker- not to mention Van Morrison and early Bruce Springsteen, whose influences are felt in the record’s brassy punch and sprawling grooves. LaSalle’s whiskey scarred voice hints at the rough past his lyrics make explicit, but his songs address faith and overcoming fear without getting preachy: This record may have the soul of Sunday morning, but the sound is Saturday night

Jim Ridley – Nashville Scene

“For me He is already the greatest musical Discovery of this year” Ray PIETERS-DREESENS - MILO Radio 103.1 FM Belgium

“The snarling tone of Brent Little's lead Guitar, a gritty, twang-drenched sound that echoes both Memphis and Nashville, is complimented by LaSalle’s voice, a bleary country drawl with a touch of urban blues that makes you believe every word he sings.”

JUST IN!!!

Ron Lasalle "Nobdy Rides For Free" (Ph-Q Records 2007) A hell of a singer If hell has a house band, then I’ve found it the perfect singer. And while he’s there, Ron Lasalle can take the rest of the musicians featured on Nobody Rides For Free along with him. If the blues is the devil’s music then Ron Lasalle is its disciple. And it's not just the raw, feral Nashville Blues - which gets the album off to an explosive start - Got Love To Blame is sensual and steamy in a slightly sleazy way. It doesn’t just suggest danger, it oozes it from every sweaty pore of the song. It’s impossible to say that Lasalle does much that hasn’t been done before, it’s just that he does it that little bit better than most. Ron Lasalle is one of those bluesmen who were born with a raging fire in their belly and through a long career at the working end of the blues; he has added the experience to harness that fire. Lasalle has often been compared to the likes of Van Morrison and with She Did Love Me, you can see just why. Ironically that happens to be the album’s least believable song, it’s slightly superficial and stilted. It’s the only time when you’re not quite sure whether Lasalle has his heart in it. Contrast that with I Am In Love, on the face of it very similar, in reality they are world’s apart. One is a decent performance, the other is ripped from its author’s soul bleeding. It’s neat and tidy to categorize Ron Lasalle as a traditional blues musician, albeit a very good one, but on Nobody Rides For Free, he has poured Soul, R ‘n’ B, Blues and Rock into the cauldron and conjured up a potent spell, one called ‘real music’.

Order Nobody Rides For Free Today

"Nobody Rides For Free" Ron LaSalle's long awaited follow up to 2001's critically acclaimed Too Angry To Pray. Featuring 13 new tracks plus a hidden bonus track. So don't delay, Order today; $12.50 + s&h

Order Nobody Rides For Free Today Ron LaSalle's rootsy musicality, showcased across an eclectic mix of songs blended together by the warm growl of his distinctive vocals, makes Nobody Rides for Free slide down smooth like a fine bourbon should. Complex, creamy and deeply textured, LaSalle's sophomore album is equally sure to please both devout fans and new ones alike. A step bluesier than Too Angry to Pray, LaSalle's critically acclaimed 2001 release, this bohemian bluesman is careful to reward faithful fans who still will find plenty of twang to enjoy on this record. But, as longtime admirers know, LaSalle's trademark soul twang is driven by rhythms more reminiscent of Muscle Shoals than of Nashville. LaSalle is one musical brewmaster whose product we can enthusiastically recommend to connoisseurs.

Ron Lasalle & The East Side Rockers:

In their 10 years of touring together averaged 300 shows in 300 cities a year in both the U.S and Canada. SRO crowds became the norm for this native of Niagara Falls, NY but, at the height of his success, Ron decided to take a break from the road and moved to Toronto, Canada to learn more about the business side and concentrate on his writing. Lasalle released his first single Only The Strong Survive on SBK records, going on to record the never released full LP for CBS Canada titled Simple Glories.

Since moving to Nashville, TN, as a staff writer for EMI. Ron has written and recorded with some of the worlds finest writers and musicians such as Garry Tallent and Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteens band, Bucky Baxter (Steve Earle, Bob Dylan) George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby). Alto Reed of Bob Segers Silver Bullet Band, Film Music for Jeff Daniels Film Super Sucker (Purple Rose Films ) Morgan Fairchilds "Eric's Revenge" For more information Contact: PH-Q Records Order Nobody Rides For Free Today

"LaSalle's rough, black voice is perfect for this bluesy collection. . . but it is the ballads that really make the record, bringing Nobody Rides for Free firmly into romantic, country-soul territory. I Am Love is an amazing song that, alone, is worth the price of the album. . .. The steamy Try to Trust Again is a soulful rock ballad that sounds like a seventies record while the rootsy She Did Love Me reflects LaSalle's debt to John Hiatt. Then, there is the intimacy of the beautiful I Still Talk to Angels. Overall, a record filled with blues-passion in every note that puts Ron Lasalle, an outsider by trade, in his own category where roots music isn't limited by the misused term Americana".--
