The Ray Scott Interview

For the month of August, it is our pleasure to bring to you the musical magic of Ray Scott! His accomplishments are as wide, and varied as the subjects, and emotions in his music. From his major label debut, and billboard hits to playing at the mother church the Grand Ole Opry an unprecedented 64 times! Somehow, Ray has retained his small town charm, and lyrical honesty. Whether it's the painful ethos of divorce or a visit to the Tijuana jail, it's all in there. It is all in his music illustrated in poetic prose, and wrapped in a blanket of danceable rhythms just waiting for your shuffling feet.

Ray's musical genius is rare, especially in country/americana music. He can make you cry, laugh, and smile sometimes all in the same song. He's a musical magician, his wand is a pen, but there are no tricks here. Just a talented singer/songwriter talking about his life, and a long the way, sprinkling some hope on us all. That's gold..
