Title: A Credit To The Genre
Review: If you have been waiting for someone that could breathe some new life back into the singer/songwriter genre that was so prevelant in the 70's, here he is. Your Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and Jackson Browne albums can all take a well deserved rest.All of the qualities that made those artists so great are here in these songs. Ray's soulful voice is filled with a passion that rivals both those of Cat Stevens and Van Morrison, yet it remains uniquely his own. His guitar playing is rich with melodic rythms that flesh out his thoughtful lyrics. There is also some very nice percussion work here peppered throughout most of the songs.All in all this is a great album and a welcome entry into the genre of the singer/songwriter. Songs like "Trouble" and "Forever My Friend" will surely keep you interested and eager to know what will be next from this promising new artist.
