Boo Ray’s “Boots and Blue Jeans,” from his current release “Six Weeks In A Motel” carries a heap of grit and soul. The video filmed at the legendary Johnny’s Tavern in Nashville, TN by Daniel Henry & Price Harrison show folks having a high time. The kind of folks that would drop quarter after quarter to play this hotnumber.
Ray’s time raised in the western mountains of North Carolina has given him a sensibility for southern and roots rock in the vein of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Faces. melody with bite and brawn. This is 100 proof with an ear for a hook.
“Six Weeks In A Motel,” the Boo Ray’s follow up to 2010 release “Bad News Travels Fast.”
The musicians featured include Steve Ferrone on drums (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), Jimmie Lee Sloas on bass (Keith Urban, Reba McEntire), British guitar virtuoso Sol Philcox, and Bruce Bouton (Randy Travis, Emmylou Harris, Ricky Skaggs) on pedal steel.
Now that’s a good time. Wish I was there!
That looks like more fun than a pen full of badgers! The guy flapping his jacket wings is great! And the guy doing the worm too! And then the gal dancin’ around looked like a character out of “Every Which Way But Loose”. Wow!!! What a cool song… and that singer. Ooowee!!! I’d take that troubadour for a twirl!
I got the new CD a week ago and love it! Cool video.
I picked up this album and it plays on repeat… Will until he gives us more.
Boo Ray is the real damn deal.
I’d like to take credit for raising this boy, but he was already fully-formed when our paths first crossed. This video is cooler N ice in the arctic!!! And check out the new CD – Six Weeks in a Motel. Oh, yeah.
We miss you here in Athens!!! Great job as usual on the music and video!!!
Solid. “Redneck Rock & Roll” at its finest!
Love it, Love it, Love it! Ordered it for ALL my kids stockings for Christmas and I have 10!
Love you, BOO!
