Title: Moody.
Review: Yes, even more Ray.This one is a studio solo effort, and as usual, it's great.It's kinda moody though. The first cut, "In De Back Room," doesn't spring to life like it does on other albums, feeling more determined than lively.The whole album is like that. Sort of a bluesy, sepia toning of some Ray classics.The fourth cut, "Blues in De Big Brass Bed" is perhaps one of the finest Ray performances on any album. Both sad and passionate, this piece weaves through more than seven minutes of the kind of blues that would make the Hooker proud.There already is a Ray album called "Alone With The Blues," but were that name not taken, it might apply here.Good stuff.
