SUMMARY:Sugaray Rayford
DESCRIPTION:Sugaray Rayford is a man with a message and a larger than life personality and voice to deliver it. Working with producer\, songwriter Eric Corne for the past 3 albums\, the soul-blues powerhouse has crafted an incendiary sound and narrative\, combining classic soul melodies and funky R & B grooves with raw blues power.\nThe pair’s first collaboration\, Somebody Save Me\, earned Rayford a 2020 Grammy nomination. Later that year he took home Blues Music Awards for ‘Soul Blues Male Artist’ and ‘B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.’ Rayford’s follow up In Too Deep won a plethora of awards including the Blues Music Award for ‘Soul Blues Album of the Year’.\nRayford’s new release is entitled ‘Human Decency’. The title track is a simple reminder that our similarities are stronger than our differences and in the end\, there is no black or white or left or right\, there are only hearts and minds.\nAbout the leadoff single\, “Run For Cover” a song that takes no prisoners\, Q Magazine declares\, “The bluesey soul of Rayford comes on full steam with this powerhouse single.”\n“We’re calling people on their bullshit but we’re having fun with them. That’s my way. I’m gonna tell it to you straight but with love in my heart. I always bring some suga with the salt!” says Sugaray\, bellowing with laughter.\nAn all-star cast lent their talents to the album\, including guitarist Rick Holmstrom and singer Saundra Williams who are both from Mavis Staples’s band\, along with bassist Taras Prodaniuk (Lucinda Williams\, Merle Haggard).\n\n\nCRITICAL PRAISE\n“Human Decency is Rayford’s most consistent outing. These songs\, arrangements\, and performances are excellent\, elevating him from a very fine singer to perhaps becoming a great one.”” – AllMusic ****\nIn the spirit of much of Rayford’s output\, it is a call for unity.” – American Songwriter\n“Expands on Rayford’s soul blues heritage\, elevating the instrumental presentation beyond expectations.” – Relix\n“Vocal magic and a killer band.” – Soul Tracks\n“The bluesey soul of Rayford comes on full steam with this powerhouse single.” – Q Magazine\n\n‘In Too Deep’ – 5 Million Global Streams\n\nApple Music – ‘Album of the Week’ – Funk/Soul\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			Like this:Like Loading...
