BIOGRAPHY
The term “country music” may have changed over time, but Ray Scott’s definition of it has not. Whenever you press play on a Ray Scott song, you know exactly what you are going to get: tried-and-true, dyed-in-the-wool, salt of the earth, country music. That’s how the country music traditionalist built his first ten albums and that’s how he’ll build the next ten - which conveniently starts right here.
Billboards and Brake Lights, Ray Scott’s 11th release, is a collection of twelve songs by the North Carolina native that remind real country music fans what it’s like to go on a journey through song. Rooted in his signature traditional sound, Scott straddles the line of growing as an artist and standing on that firm foundation of being exactly the same guy his fans have come to love. Self-effacing, self-aware and vulnerable and with a humble confidence that stops shy of arrogance, Scott’s methods of storytelling shine brighter than ever before.. . .
“A clinic on true country songwriting that’s executed with perfection... Those who know him swear by his music. For those just discovering him, ‘Billboards & Brake Lights’ will be all you need to hear to believe he’s one of this generation’s greatest singers and songwriters who deserves significantly more attention. ”
“The kind of country that reaches inside your heart and gives it a two fisted squeeze”
“His dark, rich baritone is a voice to get lost in. This mid-tempo tune rolls along with hearty energy and charisma, punctuated with semi-spoken accents. A winner.”
“With his oak-tree baritone, easygoing delivery, and ability to turn a phase, Ray Scott has been delivering his traditional-sounding brand of country music to the honky-tonk masses for more than 15 years”
