He always knows just what licks to play. Go hear him now! You'll be knocked out!" - Kevin Wildman, Music News Houston "In his new role as frontman, Paul continues channeling music at transcendentally stratospheric levels." - Andy Eng, The Scene WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING "I have spent time listening to the new CD by the Paul Ramirez Band Sex With a Dragon and I am very impressed by this musical odyssey. The CD is musically tight and not over-produced, retaining the "live" sound element that makes the Paul Ramirez Band a delight to be around and to party with. This is one GREAT CD! The last cut, "See That My Grave is Kept Clean", a soulful tribute to Blind Lemon Jefferson, is stunning and it is great to know that at least some of the younger blues bands in Texas know the importance of paying homage to our great blues legends and to our collective Texas music legacy." - Carlos Calbillo, Houston "Paul... Sounds freakin' AWESOME! What a tone!! I absolutely love it!!! I love this track "Sex With a Dragon", Great Job!!!!" - Billy Pope, Baton Rouge "GREAT CD!! I picked one up at your show, Bikin' On The Block in Lafayette, and I think I've almost worn it down!" - Marty DeRoussel, Lafayette.
