That about says it perfectly. Both statements are completely true. Seeing him tonight, seriously going to flip my shit. GAH!!!!!

Spot-on review. In a pretty weak year, this is going to contend for my AOTY - not that it wouldn't be up there in a better year too.

you got the recs all wrong.

Nice review, Gregory. Still haven't given it a listen (I don't know what I'm waiting for), but I'm excited to do so and I'm glad you like it.

I won't disagree with you there. Griffin House is on the money, the other two were just grasping at straws. I was going to say Sam Cooke, but I felt that was too over-the-top. What would you have put, homeboy?

Thank you kindly. You need to comment more. My reviews need more Lindsay love. And this album is not to be missed. So stop sitting on your hands. Embrace it. You will be grateful you have.

homegirl, darlin. i'm glad you can agree, but yes, griffin house is a good choice. i'd suggest patty griffin and yea, maybe sam cooke. someone with soul. otis redding, perhaps? i can't really think of any specific artist or album to compare this one to though. it's on a level all of it's own, but you know that. in fact, i've been a ray fan since the very beginning and this was the first album of his i literally loved as a whole upon first listen. everything you said about it was right on the money, especially the part about having ray's body of work in the future. i mean, truly, one of a kind.

It's great to see stuff like Ray being reviewed here.

this is my first of his albums. love it.

Yeah you should. 3/4 of his set was from the new album.

Why is this so highly rated here? I thought it was incredibly mediocre. All the songs sound the same.

Ah, thanks for the tip. It's my first Ray concert. I'm sure he sounds beautiful live
