Just a heads up for those that are interested. Ray has a new CD titled "All Night Long" that is now available. It has more of a dancehall sound compared to his previous recordings. Joining Ray are Courtney Granger and Kevin Wimmer on fiddles, his sons on guitar and bass, and Jimmy Breaux on drums. You can get it from his webpage rayabshire.com or from Swallow Records.
Maybe order it directly from Ray anyway? He's one of the bravenet posters himself occasionally, and maybe he makes a little more that way than a small fee from Swallow. I just ordered one, and Randy, this might suck: no copy for you in it from this one alas.
