The Reverend Jesse Ray is a high energy one-man-band with crooning vocals, splitting harmonica, pounding foot drums, and rockin’ guitar. After winning three WYCE JAMMIE Awards, and traveling to Memphis as an International Blues Challenger as Frontman for Jesse Ray and the Carolina Catfish; The Reverend Jesse Ray has the chops and attitude to rock any stage solo. No venue is safe in the wake of this crushing and primal Rock and Roll phenomenon, yet one thing is certain: less is more.
My new “Collector” record is a return to my roots as a songwriter, and as a rocker. I went back to Goon Lagoon in Grand Rapids to work with the legendary Dick Chiclet and find my voice. It turns out I didn’t really have to look too hard for it. I really do feel in many ways that this is my first record. It oozes with the vintage feel and style that 2016’s “Angry” had, but it sounds more mature and thoughtful, while maintaining its wild unpredictability. This is the record that I have always wanted to make; A heavy rocker with no b-sides, no dumb lyrics, and all attitude. Kitten Redman from Kitten and the Tonics played upright bass on half the record, and gave it a nice rockabilly flair and bounce. I could write forever about how easy it was for everything to come together in the studio, and how proud I am of this work. Dick told me it’s my best work to date. This record is my heartbeat, my soul, and my daily life that I’ve chosen to share with the listener. So give it a spin, a little rock and roll won’t kill you.”
