The Amazing Rhythm Aces is an American country rock group. The band has characterized their music as "American Music" or "Roots Music"—rock, country, blues, R&B, folk, reggae and Latino. While they are best known for their 1970s hit "Third Rate Romance", their small but fanatical fan base would fiercely reject the erroneous classification of the band as a "one hit wonder"; the group has released 18 albums over 30 years including a 15-year hiatus. Their music is distinguished by its eclectic scope, literate and often quirky lyrics, and distinctive vocals by lead singer/songwriter Russell Smith.

“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“When Americans look out on the world, they see nothing but dark and menacing strangers who appear to have no sense of rhythm at all, nor any respect or affection for white people; and white Americans really do not know what to make of all this, except to increase the defense budget.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
