J. Ralph: Ad Tune Master
Millions of people listen to J. Ralph's music, yet he's far from a household name. (Link goes to "All Things Considered" interview, with other good stuff, like three full-length songs from his new CD, and links to his website)
I bought his first CD three years ago, after finally tracking down the author of the VW commercial. I just added this new one to my Yahoo! Music Engine. I wish I had this guy's talent!.

V.v. good. I wish NPR would stop using RealAudio, but that doesn't stop this from being a good find.

Hey look, they took the name of our site (which has mentioned the composer in question many times in the past) for use as the title of the article. :(

He's got talent. Too bad he has to sell his soul to car companies and the demons of Madison Avenue. "You do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call forever." -- BH.
