E.C. Scott: "Masterpiece"

"No less a music industry legend than Jerry Wexler, co-founder of Atlantic Records, called E.C. Scott "one honest-to-God soul singer." High praise indeed from the man who produced Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Wilson Pickett! Blues and R&B diva E.C. Scott possesses a warm, inviting voice and a delivery that can be smooth and sultry one minute and sassy and sexy the next. She can mesmerize a crowd down to a whisper or rock them into a loud frenzy."

"Stereo Review called E.C.'s songwriting "Brass tacks poetry that is witty, often ribald, sometimes sweet, and always perceptive." ~ www.blindpigrecords.com


Don Ray Band: "Lonesome Rider"
"With Don Ray and his cast of talented band mates he has transposed their influence in a very subtle way as well and is walking the same path, with some finely crafted and performed songs. I wonder if this music will be too sophisticated for many southern rock fans with its influences that sounded to me like T-Bone Walker, George Benson, The Allman Brothers Band, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Delbert McClinton. But influences are just that, they help mould the sound that is the Don Ray Band, the subtle influences merge to form what is a fine CD by an excellent band." ~ Vernon Tart ~ www.puresouthernrock.com
