Some things are meant to take a little time. Such is the case with RAY BURKE’s ‘Humanity Street’, out now on Bright Orange Records. A veteran of the L.A. scene during which time the Midwest native has amassed credits including BRUCE DICKINSON, LIFE AFTER DEATH, ROB ROCK, WARRIOR, and currently THE GREEN ALMIGHTY, the bassist and sometime vocalist is venturing out on his own for the first time in his 25-year career with a solo effort that’s a testimony to Burke’s seasoned musicianship and songwriting craft.
''Humanity Street'', inspired by a flooded street in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, features an exciting array of high caliber guest players from the metal, rock and jazz world. Included are long-time friend/guitarist Roy Z (BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD, TRIBE OF GYPSIES), brothers Phil and Gonzo Sandoval (ARMORED SAINT, LIFE AFTER DEATH), vocalists Jack Emrick (LIFE AFTER DEATH, FROST), Bob Khaleel (SUPER 8), and Tim Neighbors (OPUS DAI, THE GREEN ALMIGHTY), guitarists Dave Duncan, Joel Shearer (ALANIS MORRISETTE, ANNIE LENNOX, SUPER 8), Joe Floyd (WARRIOR), John Goodwin (RHOADS, RUDE AWAKENING, JAMES BLUNT), and Chris Grady (DELTANAUT), keyboardist John Schuller (BILLY PRESTON, SLY STONE), and drummers Jon Mattox (THE YOUNG DUBLINERS, UNI), and Dave Moreno (BRUCE DICKINSON, TRIBE OF GYPSIES, LOVE/HATE). Tex Nakamura (WAR, THE 44''s) on harmonica, percussionist Leon Mobley (BEN HARPER & THE INNOCENT CRIMINALS), Azar Lawrence (MILES DAVIS, McCOY TYNER) and John Fumo (JAMES BROWN, BRIAN SETZER) on saxophone and trumpet, respectively, provide additional flavors. The album contains 15 songs, including ''Nostalgia'', dedicated to the late great Ronnie James Dio, and a restored vintage recording of the Nat King Cole classic ''There Goes My Heart'', performed in 1964 by Burke''s father, Arthur Lee Burke, aboard the cruise ship Riviera.
"This album has been a true labor of love for me", states Burke who first made his mark with Illinois metal band FOREVER via their eponymous 1986 debut album on Heavy Metal America Records. "Musically, I get to stretch out in all sorts of ways, from hard rock to funky stuff and beyond. I love metal, especially Black Sabbath, because that''s what I grew up on, but someone like Bootsy Collins from Parliament/Funkadelic has been as much an influence on me as Geezer Butler, and I dig jazz, too. So all that is in there somewhere. This record is like one big quilt musically as well as the people that have come in and played on these songs. I''ve got some of my oldest friends with me, like Jack (Emrick) and Roy Z, and Phil and Gonzo Sandoval from the Life After Death days, as well as players I have admired for a long time. It''s an honor to have guys like Azar Lawrence and John Fumo on these tracks who''ve worked with some of the all-time greats, or Bob Khaleel who I''ve been a fan of ever since I first heard Super 8. And to have my dad''s voice on the album makes it extra sweet for me. He instilled the love of music in me so this is a fitting tribute to him."
