Details:
Ray Stephenson may be the next important singer/songwriter of our time. He has already crafted songs for Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, John Anderson, Guy Clark, Jeff Bates, Steve Holy, The Wilkinsons, Sonya Issacs and more. He is also an established painter. He resides in Nashville Tn. and tours some 120+ shows a year across the southeastern United States.
Ray’s songs are surprisingly soulful and thoughtful for a writer his age. There is a strong thread of honesty woven into his lyric and his songs are generally filled with stories about life, love and loss.
His brand new solo album entitled “Gravity” is receiving critical praise from the Nashville press and the recording community. Gravity seems to be a very autobiographical album. It combines beautifully crafted lyric and narrative with stellar melody and feel. The album features the songs "farmboy" and "honkytonk road" written with fellow SONY ATV writer Bob Dipiero. These songs shed light on the artist''s early years and the current life of this singer/guitarplayer from south Georgia. It also features 3 collaberations with CM Hall of Fame songwriter and 2 time GRAMMY nominee Guy Clark. Most of the acoustic guitar parts on this album were played on one of the homeade guitars that Ray and Guy built over in Guy''s workshop. It is a 000-28 Martin style body design with a slotted headstock. "Nearly cut a finger off in the process." The guitar was being built on weekends and around writing sessions and touring while Ray was writing for this album. "Gravity" also features 2 songs written with Texas treasure and dear freind; Walt Wilkins, and 3 songs with Curb recording artist and buddy; Lee Brice, and more. Please send your friends in his direction so that they may also discover this truly southern renaissance man.
