Ray reminds me a whole lot of Jerry Reed.
Both of them were funny as all get out and I don’t think either one had to work at it. It was just their nature.
Biggest thing that Ray and Jerry Reed had in common is their complete command of at least one (and maybe more) instrument, plus great songwriting and a lot more. People who are naturally funny never have to work at it. And by the way, Ray and Jerry both came out of a fertile Atlanta music scene working for Bill Lowery before they went to Nashville.
It just makes me happy after all these years to see anyone from back then doing it. But the most important point is, and might be about to be lost here, is that HE JUST PUT OUT A BRAND NEW SONG AND IT IS ON OUR SIDE. Listen to it, don’t just make comments about what you already know about Ray. Please understand what this is about.
