Scrawny

Released 2000
Self-produced

What you gots here is a flaky guitar, bass and drums crust stuffed with accordion, cello, dobro, mandolin, mincemeat, dulcimer, lap steel, horns, and voices then slow-baked at around 200°. Yep.

Mark Guarino of the Chicago area's Daily Herald says "This album glows with true rootsy beauty ... the finest collection of songwriting I've heard in a long time."

Scofflaws

Released 1996
Self-produced

On this collection the skies are a tad darker, the water a smidge colder. Hubcaps and thorazine, carnival hangovers and fever dreams. The moon looks wet and it smells like snow...

The Illinois Entertainer said "...unlike many roots-revivalists, Ramont isn't afraid to mix things up...gorgeously unexpected accordions and cellos pop up on this wonderfully produced CD."

Toaster Reflection

Released 1992
Self-produced

Look ma, no hands. Bear witness to the commencing. Folk-rock thang with country sprinkles, recorded low-fi to an eight-track machine.

The Austin Chronicle said "The world could always use another quality singer/songwriter with meaty lyrics, gritty vocals and a tight back up band."
