why did I wait 21 years to get this - Will Ray content

Just received Will Ray's Invisible Birds CD in the mail and am smacking my head for not getting this years ago.

This gem was released in 1996 and has some of the best picking and lyrics I've heard in a long time. :happy0065: Being a big Jerry Garcia fan as well, I do appreciate Will dedicating this collection to Jerry and Kirk Knudsen. As Will states in the liner notes there is a Johnny Cash meets Jerry Garcia in a Muddy Waters kitchen version of Folsom Prison Blues on here, but no youtube version I could find. Hey Will, when's your next release coming out? :evilgrin:

A few choice cuts are below, get yer bender out and enjoy:

Here's a video version of When the U-Haul..." from the show Will and Jerry did at McCabe's in Santa Monica, CA on February 13, 1998:

I shot video of the complete show and Will and Jerry released the show on CD using the audio from my tapes.

On a side note: Dean and I are heading down this afternoon to the An All-Star Tribute & Benefit to Jerry Donahue on 4/18/2017.
