Description
Today, on our Voices of Minnesota interview, we hear from Dave Ray. Dave Ray, blues vocalist and guitarist, got his start in the music business in the trio Koerner, Ray and Glover. In 1963, they released "Blues, Rags and Hollers", a collection of covers and original tunes that sparked among listeners and musicians a renewed interest in southern country blues. Dave Ray recorded his first album before the age of twenty. Even though he is white, he plays music dominated by African Americans, and he has became an influential acoustic blues artist. His fans and collaborators have included John Lennon, Bonnie Raitt, and Bob Dylan. Part 2 of 2.
