About

Randy Crouch is often called the "World's Greatest" rock n roll Fiddler, but his talent exceeds even that superlative description. Randy Crouch is one of the pioneers of the Red Dirt movement of Alternative Country and his influence extends deep into Oklahoma music of all types, including Folk, Bluegrass, Blues & JamBands. As one of the early founders of Red Dirt, Randy was first packing bars like Cain's Ballroom more than 20 years ago during the later years of what is called "The Tulsa Sound." More recently music fans know Randy as a member of the Red Dirt Rangers, and  through his association with the new generation of Red Dirt acts like Jason Boland & the Stragglers, Cross Canadian Ragweed, South 40 and Badwater.  Fans of "jambands" know Randy's music through acts like My-Tea Kind and the Vince Herman Trio.

"Randy Crouch is my brother. He's my twin of a different mom"  -Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon
 
"Red Dirt mainstay Randy Crouch plays a mean fiddle and isn't too shabby on guitar, pedal steel, piano and slide mandolin."  -Lawrence, Kansas Journal-World
 
"We have a deal where we do a Randy Crouch song on each of our records" 
-Jason Boland of The Stragglers  
 
"Randy Crouch pretty well took the then-popular idea of the 'cosmic cowboy' and rocketed with it into another galaxy. Playing music that lay somewhere between Bob Wills and Jimi Hendrix, the fiddler-guitarist-vocalist and his Flying Horse band played a number of well-remembered Cain's Ballroom dates, sharing the stage with the eclectic likes of Alvin Crow, Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, Maria Muldaur and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen."  -Tulsa, Oklahoma World News 
 
"His influence on Red Dirt Music is huge.  It's interesting about him, We go all over the country, and no matter where we go, musicians and music people know who he is."   -John Cooper The Red Dirt Rangers
 
"Say the word "fiddle" in eastern Oklahoma, and it won't take long before someone mentions Randy Crouch"  -Tahlequah, Oklahoma Daily Press
 
"Let me tell you two things about Randy Crouch. First and most important, he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, Second, he's a musical genius." 
 -Jim Blair, professional musician & co-owner Max's Garage, Muskogee Oklahoma
 
"If you've never heard Randy Crouch play, you haven't lived. The multi-instrument virtuoso must be heard to be believed."  -Muskogee, Oklahoma Phoenix News

"The incomparable Randy Crouch"  -Fayetteville, Arkansas The Free Weekly 
 
 "When Crouch took his first solo the rolling waters turned to rapids. He shredded through song after song stopping only to swill and change strings"  -Jambands.com
 
"Crouch is as well versed in Country and Bluegrass as he is in Rock, he's often been called the "Jimi Hendrix of the fiddle."  Since the mid 1970s this man has been thrilling audiences with his prowess on the fiddle, guitar, piano, pedal steel and the kitchen sink.  His first of many solo releases came in 1978 and have become cherished additions to many music lovers' collections.  Crouch has appeared on multitudes of other peoples' recordings including folks like South 40, Jason Boland and the Stragglers, Bob Childers, Tom Skinner and many more.  The list of people Randy has collaborated with is astounding. There is nary a musician in this part of the country that doesn't want Randy sitting in on any given night.  Currently he is touring with his band, Flying Horse, and holding down the fiddle position for the Red Dirt Rangers, a band of Oklahoma legends themselves."   -The Current Northeast Oklahoma News & Entertainment Monthly
 
"Randy Crouch has always been the most cosmically in tune player I ever played with." -Scott Evans of Medicine Show
 
"Randy Crouch and the Flying Horse!!! Duck and cover!!! Cowboy Aliens in the house!!! Yes, Jimi Hendrix has risen from the dead...in the form of a fiddle player named Randy Crouch..."  
-Steve Greene, owner The Snorty Horse Saloon, Springfield Missouri
