STUBBORN HEART, THE ALBUM, WAS RELEASED!
“I’m proud to be a part of this record”
Nick Cave
“You need to hear this record. Ratso can sing, and Ratso can dance naked beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free with the best of them”
Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller
“Ratso channels the spirits of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan with sad strings and heartfelt words. With a little help from friends Nick Cave and Yasmine Hamdan, he has created a group of timeless songs for your listening pleasure”
Lee Renaldo, Sonic Youth
“I dig the mood”
Leonard Cohen
“Stubborn Heart contains many great original songs including “Matching Scars” which spoke to me at a hundred miles per hour. I’m telling ya, it’s a great rekkid!”
Kinky Friedman, Texas Jewboy
“There are not many people with a natural bent for absorbing mood prose – even less that seem to walk in shoes as august as those of Bob Dylan. For that moment in time with Ratso, an album [was] made with a lyrical co-conspirator of the highest order.”
John Cale on working with Ratso on his 1985 album Artificial Intelligence
