New-Folk, born from a tradition of exploration . . .
Alternate guitar tunings are fundamental and lay the foundation for Jeff Ray's progressive Slide-Guitar. It's what he coins 'Alternative Folk Guitar, having nothing to do with alternative music, and everything to do with changing the face of folk music.'
Aside from the new CD Live at the Deli, available only at live performances, Jeff's most recent CD release Sunshine City Tree has received rave reviews -
'flits around the fretboard with ease, spinning complex, bright passages that recall the acoustic moments of everyone from Led Zeppelin to Nick Drake.'
~ The Onion (Madison, WI)
'We get about 40 new albums a DAY coming in here now, and yours [Jeff Ray's] is one of the best I've ever heard.'
~ Derek Sivers, President of CDbaby.com
'A compelling and cohesive mix of styles, adding snap to the usual acoustic folk tune without straying far from its roots' 'Vocals . . . in the vein of [Nick] Drake or Bruce Cockburn.'
~ Rob Thomas, The Capital Times (Madison, WI)
''Jeff Ray is the new folk scene... with the heart of Jeff Buckley, the spirit of Michael Hedges, and the roots of Robert Johnson.'
~ Steve Digre, Musician (Minneapolis, MN)
