Much of the steelpan world, now so familiar with Ray's carefully crafted steelband arrangements, may not have witnessed Ray partnered with only a nylon string guitar, unaware that his sublime melodies support equally crafted lyrics. On, "First Love", Ray tells his story with accompanied by his guitar and a supporting cast of accomplished musicians featuring Michael Spiro on percussion, Jeff Buenz, guitar, and Jason Muscat on bass, with a cast of other fine players. The stories are penned by Ray himself or in collaboration with some of the most notable calypso poets of the day - the late, Denis Williams Franklyn (Merchant), Winsford Devine (Joker), Alvin Daniell and Javed Shageer. Complete with lyric booklet. This is Ray's Story...
