“Each show is wildly different and incredibly entertaining… Ray is a skilled master of melody, songwriting and challenging lyrics. He’s also a fine picker of stringed instruments with a distinct, fluid guitar style. Ray’s gift for telling stories comes through in his songs, in person and during off the cuff remarks between songs. ‘This song bought me my first Winnebago,’ he recently told an audience at the Tin Roof in Charleston. ‘The songs sort of appear,’ Ray said. ‘I’ve never purposely written a song. It seems like this thing telling me what I need to hear. They come from some other place.’”
Stefan Rogenmoser – Summerville Journal Scene
“Some artists put the art before the career…If I were hard pressed to give you points of reference to analyze Ray’s music, it would be the pure psychedelia of Syd Barrett or Thom Yorke coupled with the lyrical talents of Bob Dylan or Jeff Tweedy…that would be a good place to start…but that doesn’t quite hit the nail on the head.”
Stuart Johnson – Moultrie News
“Some songs have a whispery, dream-state sound, while others thump along with more traditional rock band instrumentation… Lyrically Ray sings about everything from loved ones to green fairies and the wild west…”
