For years Andrew Bray has been struggling to find
his "voice". Not the one that he sings with, the one that he puts down
on record. He's finally done it.
Andrew's challenge has been that he's a rocker with a deep baritone
(no falsetto for this cat, thank you very much!) that finds itself more
at home in Motown or Memphis than the Sunset Strip - pretty frustrating
when you and your friends are all dining on a steady diet of Rock 'n;
Roll and you want THAT to be your voice. Further, for those of us who
know him, he has a very pleasant, easy-going personality that has
struggled to come through his music. At times I've wondered if the term
"Blue eyed soul" was really coined for Andy because no one else could
find the words that really describe his vocal tibre and form of
expression!
His first album, "Any Given Day" was a nice start - and the sales
figures would certainly support that statement - but for those of us
who know Andy and have played in his bands it just didn't seem to "fit"
somehow. It felt like he was trying to squeeze into a store bought suit
that was a size or two too small ("Yeah, it looks right and it's OK,
but something just NOT right here! It doesn't "feel" right - almost
like the color isn't quite right or something!)
This album, on the other hand, just feels right. Andrew's warm
baritone and just under the surface passion come through nicely. In
addition, unlike the original "Any Given Day" Andy is content to step
out of the footlights and let other voices - the female vocalists in
particular - and soloists soar.
The end result is an album where Andrew pulled up in an classic old
Cadillac and picked up Mr. H.S. Spirit who brought along some old
friends (Black Gospel, R&B, Motown, African, Soul) to not only
crash Andy's party but make it ALOT better!
Come join the party, "Any Given III" is happening NOW at a CD player near you!
