The latest burned CD from The Rick Ray Band offers another 60+ minutes of seventies progressive rock. There are three lead vocalists (Phil Noch, Rick Ray and Gary Wood) on this release. They're doing three songs each. On this album you can hear eleven songs. Indeed, two of them are instrumental. As a deejay I tend to listen to an album from a deejay perspective. The first thing I noticed was the length of some of the songs. I listened to The Civilized War and thought 'this one might be cool to air', but then I saw it's a twelve minute song. Not very suitable. Fortunately, the album also has more radio-friendly tracks, like Wired Wrong, a hard rock driven tune. There are plenty of nice guitar solos on Night Of The Living Dedicated, as well as wind-instruments. Overall, this is one of my favorite Rick Ray Band albums. I even may be tempted to air that twelve minute song one day.
