Synopsis

Album Description

"Thoughtful words, brawny horns, searing guitar leads...With her emotiotional range, lyric eloquence and vocal dexterity, buttressed by the wide-ranging musical expressiveness of her band, Kay Kay Greenwade has established herself as a leading light of contemporary blues."-Living Blues. Produced by mulitiple Grammy winner Jim Gaines, Big Bad Girl contains social commentary about war, corporate greed, addiction and prejudice as well as songs about love, lost love and cheating. "An approach of their own, a singer worth hearing and a message...funk, jazz, soul and blues for the thinking person..the show-stopping closer Southside Of The Tracks indicates the Rays would be a potent live act."-Blues Revue

CD Reviews

Best Kay Kay yet

08/25/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Big Bad Girl is not only the best from Kay Kay and the Rays, it is one of the best of the year. They still deal with social issues on some tracks i.e. war (Stop the Killing), drug addiction (Junk Blues), corporate greed (Enron Field) and prejudice (South Side of the Tracks). Kay Kay's big voice is still there, better than ever, and there is great playing behind her by the Rays. The approach is still funky but more hard-edged and less soul than Texas Justice with Steve Lott providing more punch with his guitar. Andy Roman is probably the best sax player around in a blues band and the rest of the group is solid. Good songwriting, great lyrics, another fine album produced by Jim Gaines."
