About his latest release, "Cowboys and Coyotes"

"A fine example of the contemporary sound in Western music. With intriguing lyrics, Ken links the present to the past ." - O.J. Sikes, Rope Burns

"There's a new cowboy in town, and his name is Ken Raba. Not since the late Marty Robbins has there been a singer-songwriter as genuine as this song totin' buckaroo. " - Kelly Delaney, American Songwriter Magazine

"In a voice as rich and smooth as Spanish leather, singer/songwriter Ken Raba delivers a set of self penned songs with melodies as solid as the granite in the Black Hills of Dakota, lyrics as colorful as a desert sunset, and emotion that runs as deep as the Grand Canyon on his CD, Cowboys And Coyotes".…Jeff Craig, 60 Second CD


About the
artist...

"I must confess that I can't be objective about Ken Raba... he long ago paid his dues. Today he is an accomplished artist with a feel for an audience, the innate sense of writing a song that catches a listener, and the ability to sing it as if God himself had lent him the voice.... and Ken Raba doesn't take that for granted."
- Jim D. Thompson, Creative Broadcast Services, Inc.

"I first saw Ken Raba in April 2003 at a songwriters' circle by the Blanco River in Wimberley, TX. I was impressed by the songs he sang, as well as by his clear vocal style and delivery. Since then I have seen him perform a few more times, and my opinion has not changed. Ken has good stage presence, and relates well to his audience. Off stage he is very personable and humble as well. He's a young buck, and as he continues to grow in his songwriting and performing, I am certain he will make great strides in this crazy industry of our. I look forward to hearing more from him." -Gary Hickinbotham, May 31, 2003
