Rick
Ray and his band with which this CD ‘OUT OF THE MIST OF OBSCURITY’ is a
second CD together. The difference in this CD is that Rick combines the
instrumental part with the lyrics and once again, he made his songs more
dominant and richer than ever and sound from the CD will make you feel
that you are in a bar right now, with them. It is very hard to choose
which song is my favorite, all of them left a huge impact on me and on
Bluesy Hard Rock and mixed sounds of unknown and once again I was stunned
on the work of the Rick Ray Band; how they combine Blues and rock with
instruments as guitars, keyboards, clarinets, saxophone, bass and drums.
‘Why Did I Know ‘…
that I love you… that you were the one… that you took that away … this is
what Rick Ray is singing in his first romantic song, of lost love, on this
CD in this Great solo guitar performance by Rick Ray. More than from his
lyrics you get the visualization of love in his solo guitar performance
that is rich and powerful.
‘Out of The Mist Of
Obscurity’ in this song some how lyrics come more up, with the
electronic mix of voices, they some how got the stronger voice’. …’
No man is perfect and no man is pure’ …’Out of the Mist of Obscurity, I
see the whole world looking at me’ … ‘Life from above is shining on my
eyes, and I am at with no compromises’ … The Rick Ray Band’s music is has
a message about life and how to get the answers here, now, in our life’s
and not to look them up and above. We might see the answers, but we might
not understand it, but still they are here. … I love the ending, sounds of
notes from guitar coming from far away.
‘Trying To Hard’ it
a tune that actually makes you feel strange feeling all over your body.
Feeling as if you are Trying very Hard to do something right that moment,
feeling of emotions, of body trying to help the mind to keep trying, not
to give up. You feel the music that comes from strong guitars licks. This
is one of the magic that The Rick Ray Band will make you do, you will
‘taste’ their music with your body, mind and soul.
‘The Eyes of God’ …
in this tune you will relax and enjoy in something bigger than you,
something that looks over you and you will get the feeling that everything
will be ok, everything will be alright. And even if you do not believe in
God, you will ask yourself if there is something higher, something more
powerful and if there is someone who looks after you. Is there? Again the
piece and striking music that comes out of guitars, made more than ideal
song.
‘Demons and Men’
this is one great song where saxophone really gets a main role and it
leaves you amazed how you never noticed that you had rock and blues mixed
together with such perfection.
In each and every one of
his songs the leading instrument is Rick’s guitar, and you will be amazed
how saxophone with blues rhythm gives even more powerful rule in it. The
work of each and everyone in the band is excellent and even if you never
been around this type of music, you will definitely stay and look for more
work of them. Visit Rick Ray web site at
