I've just got back from his gig in Sheffield and it's got to be one of the most powerful gigs I've been too, emotions-wise. He played at City Hall to an audience of roughly 700-1000 so it wasn't huge by any means, but you could almost hear the anguish and pain in his voice and guitar playing. He's got a really unique voice and a fantastic songwriting ability, and it was a real privilege to be able to see him play tonight :)

Anyone here a fan of Ray or been to one of his gigs?
 
I’m getting into him!

would love to see him live, what i don't get is why everyone is buying 'trouble' and not his latest album, i know it has a good name sake song but i am right in saying he currently has two albums in the charts at the mo?
 
The other album is "Til The Sun Turns Black" and I prefer it over Trouble - some fantastic songs on the album and even a bit of funk. (Three More Days)

Just put it on now, going to be a good morning :D
 
Think so, aye. Having said that I only got into him a few weeks ago from a last FM recommendation :o
 
My missus went to see him in manchester last night. Said he was amazing.

When she told me she was off to see him I had genuinely never ever heard of him :confused:

Looks a bit like father christmas with his beard dyed brown
 
Saw him on Jool's Holland's Hootenanny and Jools was accompanying him on "Trouble". Ray was "back-heeling" all the big lifts on the word "saved" and you could see from the look on Jools' face that he was thinking "What's this guy's problem??" He virtually whispered the song.
 
He sang Trouble really strongly at Sheffield actually! Best song had to be "Three More Days" though, because it's a bit more funky and he puts just as much emotion into it. (I think YouTube has a Hootenanny version of it which isn't bad at all) :)
 
Saw him on channel 4 last night late on, and aquired Til the Sun Turns black today.

Enjoying it. He was quality last night as i was dozing off :)
